NCT ID NCT07175688
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at 217 adults with chronic hepatitis B to see how common fatty liver and fatty pancreas are in obese versus lean patients. Researchers used ultrasound and a special liver stiffness test to measure fat and scarring. The goal was to learn more about how these conditions overlap in people with hepatitis B.
