New scans aim to spot silent liver damage in kids with cystic fibrosis
NCT ID NCT02342964
Summary
This study aimed to find better, painless ways to detect liver scarring (fibrosis) in children with cystic fibrosis. Researchers compared four different non-invasive tests—two types of ultrasound scans, a special MRI, and a blood test—to see how well they could identify liver damage. The goal was to help doctors diagnose problems earlier without needing a painful liver biopsy.
