How likely are drs to use ani calculators to diagnose alcoholic liver disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ANI can be done easily with the basic blood test results so if a person has a history of alcohol intake, ANI should be done when we encounter an overweight patient with history of alcohol use and hepatic steatosis is diagnosed. As my previous answer, this number may help to differentiate if patient has ALD or NAFLD because the treatment is completely different.
