Reishi Mushroom for Fatty Liver Disease
This study tests whether reishi mushroom (a type of fungus) can improve liver health in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease—a condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers want to see if this natural supplement can reduce liver inflammation and improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
LahoreAges 35–65 - NCT07518784Recruiting
Testing a new liver scanning device for fatty liver disease
This study tests a new device called LiverScope® that scans your liver to detect fatty liver disease (MASLD). The scan uses special imaging technology and may help doctors diagnose liver disease more quickly and accurately.

Fatty liver and colorectal polyp risk study
This study looks at whether certain gene activity in people with fatty liver disease can predict the risk of developing colorectal polyps. It may help doctors find high-risk patients earlier.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06386094Recruiting
Fatty Liver Disease and Heart Function Study
This study checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT05974904Recruiting
Study links a liver-related cell marker to fatty liver damage
This study looks at existing health survey data to see whether a specific immune-cell marker (called HsCAR) is related to fatty liver disease and liver scarring. It may help researchers better understand which people are at higher risk for worsening liver damage.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07381257RecruitingEarly Phase 1
