Editorial highlights diagnostic performance of non-invasive tests for fibrosis in MetALD patients, suggesting potential clinical implications.

Non-invasive tests like ELF and ADAPT show high sensitivity for predicting advanced fibrosis in MetALD patients.
Using ELF as a second-tier test alongside FIB-4 significantly reduces TE referrals by over 40%.
Current testing strategies may miss significant fibrosis cases, impacting treatment eligibility for patients.
Implementation challenges due to cost and accessibility of these tests are crucial for successful integration in healthcare.

Ochoa‐Allemant et al. (2025) studied this question.
