Example

Triglycerides
150 mg/dL
BMI
30 kg/m^2
GGT
60 U/L
Waist circumference
100 cm

Result: Fatty Liver Index 80.84: 60 or above -- hepatic steatosis is ruled in.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Thresholds
below 30 rules steatosis out; 60 or above rules it in; 30-60 indeterminate.

What you enter

  • Triglycerides
  • BMI
  • GGT
  • Waist circumference
How this is calculated
Formula
y = 0.953 x ln(TG) + 0.139 x BMI + 0.718 x ln(GGT) + 0.053 x waist - 15.745; FLI = 100 x e^y / (1 + e^y), range 0-100.
