First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study observed 40 people with type 2 diabetes to find blood markers that could identify those at risk for a serious liver condition called NASH. Researchers measured liver stiffness and calculated scores like FIB-4 and ELF to see which patients might have liver scarring. The goal is to make it easier to screen for liver problems in diabetes patients.
