Completed Diagnosis Sponsor: University Hospital, Angers Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study aimed to find better, non-invasive ways to check for liver damage in people with fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers enrolled 1,005 patients across France to compare new blood tests and special scans against the standard liver biopsy. The goal was to develop tools that can accurately identify which patients have serious liver scarring without needing a painful needle procedure.
