First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a breath test could help find liver scarring (fibrosis), severe scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer early. 56 adults with known or suspected liver problems gave a breath sample after fasting. Scientists then analyzed the breath for unique chemical markers that might tell the difference between these conditions. The goal was to see how accurate the test is at picking up true cases.
