First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes to see how many have abnormal liver function tests. Researchers will check blood samples for signs of liver stress and try to find patterns or risk factors. The goal is to understand whether liver issues are common in this group and who might need closer monitoring.
