Transient elastography and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) in the assessment of liver steatosis in severe adult growth hormone deficiency

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Some noninvasive techniques have been used to quantify liver fat, such as the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP).
