Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This prospective observational study aims to validate an ultrasound scoring system for the assessment of fatty pancreas by comparing it with the current reference standard, magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). The study will also investigate clinical and laboratory parameters associated with fatty pancreas as potential biomarkers of disease severity and evaluate the relationship between pancreatic fat accumulation, glucose tolerance and pancreatic β-cell function.
