Can Weight-Loss surgery beat lifestyle changes for fatty liver disease?
NCT ID NCT03587831
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding weight-loss surgery (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) to lifestyle changes is better than lifestyle changes alone for people with NASH, a serious liver condition. About 48 adults aged 30-70 with NASH and obesity will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and followed for 12 months. The goal is to see which approach more effectively reduces liver damage and fat, and to gather data for a larger future trial.
