Moreover, the high prevalence of liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), viral hepatitis, and liver cirrhosis, is a major concern for people with sedentary lifestyles and weak immunity. Obesity, viral infections, alcohol and drug consumption, among other factors are contributing to the rising burden of liver disorders in the world. For instance, as per the article published by Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, NAFLD affects around 32% of individuals worldwide, with a greater incidence among males (40%) than females (26%).
 

Liver disease diagnostics refer to the various methods and procedures employed to identify, assess, and monitor diseases or conditions affecting the liver. The liver is a vital organ responsible for numerous functions, including detoxification, metabolism, and the production of proteins necessary for blood clotting. Liver diseases encompass a wide range of conditions, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer.
 

Liver Disease Diagnostics Market Trends

Numerous factors are influencing the dynamics and expansion of the industry. These trends reflect the surging demand for integration of  artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and machine learning in liver disease, rising focus on viral hepatitis testing, and growing need for point-of-care testing, among other factors.
 

  • Non-invasive methods of diagnosis are growing increasingly popular for liver illnesses. Elastography, transient elastography (FibroScan), magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), and shear wave elastography are all techniques used to precisely determine liver fibrosis without requiring invasive procedures like liver biopsy.
     
  • Moreover, early detection and preventive measures are highly prioritized in the treatment of liver related diseases. Early detection enables quick treatment and reduction of disease growth.
