| Core Tip |
This systematic review and meta-analysis highlight that ultrasound-based hepatic elastography, through liver stiffness measurement and controlled attenuation parameter, provides a reliable, non-invasive reflection of insulin resistance (IR) in children and adolescents with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Controlled attenuation parameter effectively identifies early hepatic fat accumulation, while liver stiffness measurement detects fibrotic progression linked to chronic IR. The strongest correlations with adipose tissue IR and metabolic score-IR emphasize that elastography captures systemic metabolic dysfunction beyond the liver. These findings support its integration into pediatric screening and monitoring to guide early intervention and prevention of IR and steatotic liver disease. |
