How bariatric surgery changes liver metabolism in fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects how your liver processes nutrients in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body after surgery and whether that could guide better future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 75 years old
- You already had bariatric surgery, and you were part of an earlier metabolic study with this research group
- You must be able to communicate with the study team and give written consent
- You should not have claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces)
- You should not have metal implants, because they may prevent an MRI test (magnetic resonance spectroscopy)
- If you can become pregnant, you should not be pregnant, and you must not be breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how fatty liver disease may predict future liver health in people with severe weight gain. It compares people who are planning bariatric (weight-loss) surgery with similar people who are not, to better understand who may be at higher risk.
This study looks at how body fat and liver fat change after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or a lifestyle program. You may join if you have overweight or obesity and can safely have MRI scans, so researchers can compare results between treatment approaches.
This study looks at what drives non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and how it affects the body, including immune-related changes. You may be invited if you have confirmed fatty liver disease or, alternatively, if you are a healthy person with no liver disease.
This study tests if weight loss surgery can improve liver fibrosis (scarring) in people with obesity and advanced liver disease. It may help those considering surgery to know if their liver health can get better.
This study looks at how fat build-up in the liver relates to metabolism in people who are scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. By doing special blood tests and MRI scans, researchers hope to better understand liver health and improve care.
This study looks at how metabolism (how your body handles food and energy) responds after weight-loss surgery. It may help researchers understand what changes to expect in people with diabetes or prediabetes and cholesterol problems.
