94% accurate detection of liver ...
Liver disease can be a mild and non- serious excess fat build up in one's liver. But it can also lead to scarring, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and cancer. The current methods for using monitoring our liver can be expensive and invasive MRIs and biopsies.

The New Atlas July 01 2020 reported that the Salk Institute and the University of California San Diego discovered that our gut bacteria can accurately detect liver disease by 90%. Examining the stool samples of 163 healthy and sick patients, these researchers discovered a signature based with 94% accuracy on the presence of 19 bacterial species that was indicative of liver disease, specifically non-fatty liver disease or NFLD. The research was led by Rohit Loomba, co-corresponding author and director of the NAFLD Research Center at the UC San Diego School of Medicine.
