Summary

This study tests whether lisinopril, a common blood pressure medication, can prevent liver damage from getting worse in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). About 45 adults with advanced liver scarring will take lisinopril for a period, and researchers will measure changes in liver health markers. The goal is to see if this drug can reduce the risk of liver cancer and slow disease progression.
