The test uses a machine learning model to analyze free-floating genetic material circulating in the blood.
In the new study, researchers used it to detect bits of DNA that point to early-stage liver scarring, or fibrosis.
This early scarring, if left untreated, can develop into severe liver scarring, called cirrhosis, and eventually cancer.
