Summary

This study tests whether Fuzheng Huayu tablets, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, can reduce liver scarring in people with compensated cirrhosis caused by metabolic fatty liver disease. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the herbal tablets or a placebo for 72 weeks. The main goal is to see if liver stiffness, measured by FibroScan, decreases by at least 20%.
