Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07093346Recruiting
Pectin supplement for fatty liver disease
This study tests whether a pectin supplement (a fiber found in fruits) can reduce inflammation and improve liver and metabolic health in people with fatty liver disease (MASLD). You might be eligible if you have MASLD, a healthy weight range, and can avoid certain medications and foods.
Nottingham, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT07083336Recruiting
Diet study for type 2 diabetes with fatty liver disease
This trial tests a specific medical nutrition therapy diet to see if it can reduce liver fat and improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help you manage both conditions with a dietary approach.
Yichang, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07070362Recruiting
Digital early warning system for lung injury after liver surgery
