Article Synopsis
- Patients with substance use disorders have higher risks for liver disease and should be screened for compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD), potentially at addiction clinics.
- A study in France offered liver fibrosis evaluation using transient elastography (TE) to patients in addiction clinics, with a 51% acceptance rate; those with liver stiffness over 8 kPa were referred for specialist care.
- The screening proved feasible and acceptable, with 4.3% of screened patients diagnosed with cACLD, particularly among older individuals or those with alcohol use disorder.
