Could a simple blood test replace liver biopsies for diabetes patients?
NCT ID NCT04232293
Summary
This study aimed to see if two simple blood tests could effectively screen for liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with type 2 diabetes. It involved 722 participants with type 2 diabetes and a higher body weight. The results of the new blood tests were compared against the current standard methods, which include a specialized scan and a more invasive liver biopsy.
