FATTY LIVER

This study tests whether eating 50 grams of peanuts daily for 12 weeks can improve liver markers and gut health in adults with metabolic fatty liver disease (MASLD). 125 participants will be randomly assigned to either eat peanuts or stick to their regular diet. Researchers will …

This pilot study tests whether time-restricted intermittent fasting can lower liver fat in non-obese adults (BMI 23-30) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers will measure liver fat changes using advanced imaging and track quality of life. The goal is to find…

This study tests whether erdosteine, a drug usually used for lung conditions, can help people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Fifty adults with fatty liver will receive either standard care (diet and exercise) or standard care plus erdosteine. Researchers will measure chan…

This early-stage trial tests whether cilostazol, a drug used for leg pain, can help people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). About 50 adults with fatty liver will take the drug to see if it reduces liver fat and lowers fibrosis risk scores. The study aims to find a n…

This phase 2 trial tests whether nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can stop or reverse liver fibrosis in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity. Thirty adults will take either nicotinamide or a placebo daily for one year. Researchers will measure liver stiffn…

This study is looking at whether a blood test called the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test can find early signs of fatty liver disease in people who are at high risk, such as those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. Researchers will review medical records of 3…

This study compares two newer imaging methods—photon-counting CT and ultrasound—against the standard MRI to see how well they detect fat and scarring in the liver. About 45 adults with liver disease will receive all three scans. The goal is to find a faster, cheaper, and equally …

This study follows 1,500 pregnant women and their children for up to 18 years to understand how a mother's health, lifestyle, and environment affect her child's growth and risk for obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver. Mothers attend visits during pregnancy and after birth, while c…

This study aims to understand how liver diseases like fatty liver, hepatitis B, fibrosis, and cirrhosis develop by analyzing individual liver cells and their spatial organization. Researchers will collect blood and discarded liver tissue from 240 patients undergoing surgery or bi…
