Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Hepatology Research focuses on the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), steatotic liver disease (SLD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and viral hepatitis. The journal also covers research on autoimmune liver diseases like primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), as well as alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). Studies often involve the development and validation of biomarkers, the application of advanced imaging and non-invasive assessment techniques, and the evaluation of therapeutic strategies, including radiotherapy, ablation, and antiviral therapies.
