Paper Context: Hence, this conveniently assessed microbial biomarker could present an adjunct tool to current invasive approaches to determine stage of liver disease. This study leverages from a unique and well-characterized cohort including participants with NAFLD-cirrhosis which allows studying the specific gutmicrobiome signature of this extreme and well-defined clinical phenotype. The fundamental difference between the previous study and the present study is the clinical context of use of the gut-microbiome signature.
