Core Tip	The search for non invasive biomarkers is a major focus of interest in the field of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Though the diagnosis of NAFLD is still a histological one, the dramatic rise in prevalence and the spectrum of severity mean that liver biopsy has become impractical for all. Both serum biomarkers of inflammation and fibrosis and assessment of fibrosis using techniques such as transient elastography may have a role to play. Newer techniques (the “omics”) may not only lead to novel biomarkers but also allow better understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition.
