Abstract
The aim of this research was to objectively assess the effectiveness of the traditional drinking cure using Karlovy Vary mineral springs, focusing on the quantitative measurement of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), through the determination of liver elasticity before and after a 21-day course of therapy. The study included randomly selected subjects from the Karlovy Vary population, aiming to scientifically validate the health benefits associated with this long-standing therapeutic practice, particularly with respect to metabolic health and liver function.
