Summary

This study is testing whether a breath test can accurately identify liver cirrhosis in people who may have it. Researchers will give participants a safe food additive and measure how the liver processes it by analyzing breath. The goal is to create a simple, non-invasive risk score that could one day be used in primary care to catch cirrhosis earlier.
