LIVERAIM PROJECT SURVEY

LIVERAIM PROJECT SURVEY

Chronic liver diseases are prevalent in Europe and worldwide. They are often asymptomatic in the early stages of the illness, which means that the individuals who are affected do not seek treatment. As a result, those liver diseases are often diagnosed at a later stage, when liver disease has progressed to cirrhosis and/or liver cancer, causing the treatments to be less effective.
The LIVERAIM project is developing a non-invasive screening method to examine an individual’s liver health! Your opinion is very important to understand how such a screening strategy could be implemented.
