Interventions/Control_1

Patients will be administered 0.2 mg or 0.4 mg of pemafibrate (Palmodia XR) for 48 weeks, and will be evaluated every 8 weeks through medical examinations and blood sampling. Evaluation of liver fibrosis (MRE, MRI-T1 mapping, MR fingerprinting, FibroScan), evaluation of liver inflammation (MRI-T1/T2 mapping, MR fingerprinting), measurement of liver lipid content (MRI-PDFF, MR fingerprinting, FibroScan)
