Summary

This study looked at 1,000 people aged 40-80 with type 2 diabetes or obesity to find the best way to screen for advanced liver scarring (fibrosis) from fatty liver disease. Researchers tested combinations of blood tests and a special ultrasound (FibroScan) to see which approach most accurately identifies those who truly need a liver specialist. The goal is to reduce unnecessary referrals and make screening more efficient.
