Summary
This study looks at 163 bariatric surgery patients to see if non-invasive tools like ultrasound and blood tests can accurately diagnose a common liver disease called MASLD. Researchers will also search for biomarkers that predict whether type 2 diabetes goes into remission after weight-loss surgery. Participants are assessed before surgery and at 6 and 12 months after.
