The AASLD recommends a diagnostic liver biopsy in children when the diagnosis is unclear or before starting a potentially hepatotoxic medical therapy. [5] The EASL suggests using fibrosis tests such as elastography , acoustic radiation force impulse imaging , and serum biomarkers to reduce the number of biopsies. [ 16 ]
Recently the term Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been proposed to replace NAFLD. MAFLD is a more inclusionary diagnostic name as it is based on the detection of fatty liver by histology (biopsy), medical imaging or blood biomarkers but should be accompanied by either overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus ...

Antisynthetase syndrome is diagnosed by a combination of radiologic features, clinical criteria, and identification of aminoacyl tRNA synthetase antibodies. [8] Immunosuppressive medications such as mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, and tacrolimus are often used alongside corticosteroids to manage myositis and other pulmonary symptoms. [9]
“The revised criteria, guided by the biology of Alzheimer’s disease and reflecting recent advances in biomarker detection, promise to significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient care ...

In the UK, diagnosis is based on quite a narrow set of symptoms, and about 0.5–1% of children are thought to have attention or hyperactivity problems.
