New program aims to catch liver disease before it's too late
NCT ID NCT07031089
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a program where family doctors work with a hospital to find liver scarring (fibrosis) early in people at risk. About 150 adults with a high FIB-4 score will get a special liver scan (Fibroscan). The goal is to see if those with scarring get the right follow-up care, like seeing a liver specialist. This is not a treatment study but a way to improve how we detect and manage liver disease.
