HIBOC = Hepatic Imaging Biomarkers in Obese Children
Sponsor: Sahlgrenska University Hospital
Summary
The goal of this prospective, diagnostic observational study is to learn about how imaging based markers for components of liver disease appear in children with obesity. It aims to determine whether the imaging markers (ultrasound and MRI) for liver disease can be tools to improve diagnostics for liver affection in children with obesity and to ascertain how the markers are related to multiple clinical measures, for example BMI and serology measure, and treatment effects over time.
