In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Morbidity and mortality of CLD is driven by the extent of liver fibrosis, characterized by scar formation and disruption of the normal liver architecture. HSCs play a central role in liver fibrosis development. When hepatocytes are damaged, HSCs undergo myofibroblast differentiation, transitioning into an activated state. So far, no efficient biomarkers can estimate the degree of HSC activation or reversal across all aetiologies of CLD, although this could be a more sensitive marker than fibrosis measurement which is secondary to HSC activation. This study aims to correlate biomarkers to the fibrosis stage in a larger cohort of patients with CLD across all aetiologies.
