Could invisible plastic bits in our bodies be making liver disease worse?
NCT ID NCT07280390
Summary
This study aims to understand if tiny plastic particles, called microplastics and nanoplastics, build up in the livers of people with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). Researchers will compare liver tissue from 30 people with cirrhosis to tissue from people without liver disease to see if these plastic particles are present and if they might be linked to more severe disease. The goal is to gather knowledge about a potential new environmental risk factor for liver health.
