Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- A study published in Nature's subject feeds compares blood-based liver fibrosis scores with liver stiffness.
- The authors report that the blood-based scores align with liver stiffness measured by two-dimensional shear-wave elastography in people with type 2 diabetes.

## Why it matters

If blood-based fibrosis scores track liver stiffness measured by elastography in type 2 diabetes, they could offer a non-invasive way to screen for liver fibrosis in this population.
