Summary

This study follows 1,689 adults with fatty liver disease (MASLD) or MASLD with increased alcohol intake (MetALD) to see if non-invasive tests like MRI and Fibroscan can accurately track disease progression. The goal is to reduce the need for liver biopsies in future research and clinical care. Participants will be monitored for serious liver and heart outcomes over time.
