Early aging and diabetes risk with fatty liver
This study looks at how early biological aging might increase the chance of developing type 2 diabetes in people with a fatty liver (a condition called MASLD). It uses routine health check-up data to understand the link.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 20–90 - NCT07070362Recruiting
Digital early warning system for lung injury after liver surgery
This trial tests a digital early warning system to detect acute lung injury after liver surgery. It may help doctors catch breathing problems early so they can treat them faster.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07159386Recruiting
Detecting advanced liver scarring in fatty liver disease
This study tests a new screening tool to find advanced liver scarring in people with liver disease linked to diabetes. It helps doctors decide who needs more tests or specialist care.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07192159Recruiting
Ultrasound vs MRI for measuring liver fat in MASLD
This study compares ultrasound (DeepUSFF) and MRI (MRI-PDFF) for measuring liver fat in people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It aims to see if ultrasound can be used as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to MRI.
Boardman, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07246421Recruiting
Glucagon resistance in fatty liver and diabetes
This study looks at how people with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes respond to glucagon, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. It may help researchers understand a condition called 'glucagon resistance' and find better treatments.
AarhusAges 30–70 - NCT06843148Recruiting
Does niacin help move fat from liver to fat tissue?
This study tests if niacin (a B vitamin) can help the body store fat safely in fat tissue instead of letting it build up in the liver. It may be an option for people with fatty liver linked to belly fat, without serious liver damage or other health issues.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 20–80 - NCT07682363Recruiting
Survey on MASLD management by Chinese doctors
