Study of fatty liver risk in local adults
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how common fatty liver disease is and what factors may be linked to it in adults in Olmsted County. You may be asked about health history, alcohol use, and possibly to undergo MRI scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Live in Olmsted County at the time the study is checking
- Be 18 years old or older
- Do not have a known prior diagnosis of fatty liver disease
- Avoid drinking alcohol above set weekly limits before enrollment
- Not be pregnant at the time of the study screening
- Be able to safely have an MRI scan (no incompatible implants; able to tolerate the scan)

This study looks at fatty liver findings on emergency department scans. If you have fatty liver and were sent home from the ED, the study may help connect you to follow-up care and avoid future liver problems.
This study builds a research registry (and optional test results follow-up) for adults who either need a routine liver biopsy or may have fatty liver risk based on body weight and other health history. It helps researchers learn more about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver not caused by alcohol) and how it may progress.
This study looks at people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fat buildup in the liver without heavy alcohol use). It may also include healthy volunteers for comparison, helping researchers understand the condition better.
This study follows people who have been confirmed to have fatty liver disease seen on a liver sample. It aims to understand the condition over time and how different causes and health factors may affect it.
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.
This study checks whether special ultrasound measurements can help diagnose nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of fatty liver disease. You may need a liver biopsy as part of routine care, and you may also be scanned with MRI to support the study tests.
