A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a comprehensive database of individuals with varying levels of hepatic fibrosis and different types of liver diseases. Using the FibroScan device, researchers will measure liver stiffness and fat content to assess the extent of liver fibrosis and steatosis. Patients with known or suspected liver disease will be approached for voluntary FibroScan measurements, and their demographic, medical, and clinical data will be collected for future research purposes. The goal is to facilitate the identification of potential subjects for upcoming clinical trials.
