Study of fatty liver in people born with low birth weight
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial focuses on people who have fatty liver disease (extra fat in the liver) and were born with low birth weight. It aims to test an approach in this specific group, which may help clarify what helps the liver in higher-risk people.

This study uses multiple types of health data (“multi-omics”) to help choose a personalized treatment plan for people with obesity-related fatty liver disease. It may help match treatment to your biology to improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether a very low calorie ketogenic diet (a strict low-carb, high-fat diet) can help people with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) who have liver scarring. Participants will follow this diet for a year and have two liver biopsies to see if their liver health improves.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
This study collects blood samples from donors with excess weight or related health issues to better understand fatty liver disease. If you are a blood donor between 40 and 65, and have overweight, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol, or high blood pressure, you may be able to help.
This study looks at blood cells and factors in people with metabolic diseases like fatty liver, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing them with healthy volunteers.
This study compares two eating plans—intermittent fasting and the Mediterranean diet—to see which is better for people with fatty liver disease. If you qualify, you'll try one of these diets for a period, and the researchers will track changes in your liver health.
