Core Tip Zhejiang University index provides a convenient way to estimate metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus without resorting to imaging or biopsy, relying only on basic clinical data. This simplicity makes it suitable for settings with limited medical infrastructure. However, questions remain about its validity in varied populations and whether it can reliably anticipate future liver and heart complications.
