Fatty Liver Index

Meaning

The Fatty Liver Index (FLI) is a simple, non-invasive clinical scoring system designed to estimate the presence and severity of hepatic steatosis, commonly known as fatty liver disease. It functions as a readily accessible screening tool for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population, which is often a component of metabolic syndrome and hormonal dysfunction. A high FLI score suggests a need for further diagnostic investigation and lifestyle intervention to prevent liver-related complications.
