Low-dose MEG-X test matches standard accuracy with fewer side effects; supports clinical adoption and further validation across liver function spectra.
Does a low-dose lidocaine MEG-X test provide comparable liver function assessment with fewer side effects compared to the standard test in patients with normal and impaired liver function?
A low-dose lidocaine MEG-X test provides equivalent liver function assessment to the standard test while significantly reducing sensory side effects.
