Other related information

Liver biopsy is an invasive procedure associated with risks such as bleeding and is also a costly diagnostic test. If accurate prognostic prediction of MASLD can be achieved using noninvasive assessment methods it may become possible to reduce or even eliminate the need for liver biopsy in routine clinical practice. Such an advance is expected not only to improve patients quality of life but also to reduce healthcare costs and ultimately contribute to extending healthy life expectancy.
