Core Tip	Circulating miR-122, -192, -34a and -16 showed differential expression levels between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic hepatitis B patients, and serum miR-122, -192 and -34a could also differentiate non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from non-alcoholic fatty liver. The latter were correlated with steatosis and inflammatory activity, and only serum miR-16 was associated with hepatic fibrosis. The diagnostic value of miR-34a for NASH was superior to that of alanine aminotransferase and cytokeratin-18, but miR-16 showed a slightly poorer performance than that of fibrosis-4 and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index in the diagnosis of significant fibrosis in NASH.
