The Global NASH and Liver Registries

The Global NASH Registry™ and The Global Liver Registry™ are collaborative efforts led by members of the Global NASH Council. These Registries are developed to collect clinical data, laboratory data and PRO data for patients with NASH, HBV and HCV from different regions of the world. Inclusion into these Registries requires collection of the data after informed consent. Data is entered through secure cloud platform into a central secured database managed by GNC. The information in the Registries is completely de-identified and HIPAA compliant. These Registries include sites from North America, Europe, Asia, Middle East, North Africa and Australia. The ultimate goals of these registries are to obtain real world clinical and PRO data about patients with the most common causes of liver disease from different regions of the world. This data will inform us about the similarities and differences of these important liver diseases across the globe.
