Summary
This study explored whether a breath test can help detect liver scarring (fibrosis), advanced scarring (cirrhosis), and liver cancer early. Researchers collected breath samples from 56 patients with known or suspected liver problems. They used advanced machines to find chemical markers in the breath that could tell the difference between these conditions. The goal is to create a non-invasive, easy way to diagnose liver disease without needles or scans.
