Data from the LiverScreen project, the largest prospective, population-based liver fibrosis screening study to date, reveals that undiagnosed liver fibrosis is common in the general population across Europe. Researchers demonstrated that systematic screening can identify a substantial burden of subclinical liver disease that would otherwise remain undetected. For a diabetologist specializing in complications, this finding is highly relevant given the strong association between type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, suggesting that screening protocols for liver fibrosis may be warranted in diabetes care settings.
