Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 25% of the global adult population and is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. [] Key Method We cover biochemical, imaging and genetic biomarkers and discuss biomarker discovery in the omics era.The combination of increasing disease prevalence and the prospect of approved pharmacological treatments has made the development of noninvasive biomarkers for NAFLD and NASH a research priority. In this Review, the authors comprehensively summarize the…
