Prevalence and Predictors of Suspected Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease in Adolescents in the United States

These results support the adoption of MASLD criteria in adolescents while indicating a need for further research into cryptogenic ALT elevation in paediatric populations.
