Study tracks fat buildup and progression in Chinese liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study follows people with fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and a related condition (NASH) to see how it changes over time. It may help researchers understand who is most likely to worsen and what patterns show up as the disease progresses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or NASH (confirmed or likely based on medical tests)

This study looks at how metabolism works in children and teens who have (or do not have) nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. Participants may include healthy-weight controls, obese controls without NAFLD, and kids with NAFLD who are already scheduled for a liver biopsy for clinical reasons.
This is a long-term study that follows adults who are being managed for fatty liver (NAFL) or NASH to learn how these conditions change over time. It may help researchers better understand what to expect and how care decisions could be improved.
This study follows adults with nonalcohol-related fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to better understand the condition and what factors affect it. It may help researchers learn which patients are most at risk and how care can be improved in the future.
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
This study collects health information and samples from people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to better understand the condition. It may help researchers find new ways to diagnose or treat this liver problem.
This study follows people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease to better understand the condition. It uses an MRI scan and collects body samples to help researchers study changes over time.
