Summary

This study looked at 325 people with MASLD (fatty liver disease) and advanced liver scarring. Researchers tested if measuring liver and spleen stiffness with a special ultrasound could predict which patients have dangerous veins in the esophagus that need treatment. The goal is to help some patients avoid a routine but uncomfortable scope procedure.
