Summary
This trial is testing whether using the ELF blood test can help doctors better decide when to perform a liver biopsy in patients with high liver enzymes or fatty liver. The ELF test looks for specific markers in the blood that indicate liver damage. By using this test, doctors hope to diagnose more cases of advanced liver scarring or cirrhosis. The Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test is a non-invasive blood test that combines three serum markers to assess liver fibrosis severity.
