New study aims to spare thousands from painful liver biopsies
NCT ID NCT04681573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two step-by-step approaches to diagnose advanced liver fibrosis in people with NAFLD (fatty liver disease). Both methods start with a simple blood test, then use a more advanced test only if needed, aiming to avoid invasive liver biopsies. About 1,045 participants will be enrolled to see which strategy is more accurate and practical for widespread use.
