First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study followed 255 people with severe obesity who had weight loss surgery. Researchers wanted to see if losing weight improved liver scarring (fibrosis) using simple blood tests instead of a liver biopsy. The main goal was to check how well two blood tests (Fibrotest and transthyretin) agreed with each other one year after surgery.
