Ketogenic diet before liver surgery for fatty liver
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet before liver surgery can reduce fat in the liver. It is aimed at people with colorectal liver metastases who already have fatty liver seen on scans or biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are planning liver surgery (open or laparoscopic) for colorectal liver metastases
- Your pre-op CT/MRI scan or biopsy shows fatty liver (hepatic steatosis)
- You can use an app to track your food intake during the diet program

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 “gut permeability,” sometimes called intestinal leakiness, in people with obesity and fatty liver disease. It tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet changes gut leakiness and fatty liver measurements.
This study tests whether following a ketogenic diet (a low-carb, high-fat eating plan) before weight loss surgery can improve your health and recovery. You will be asked to follow the diet for a few weeks before your scheduled Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
This study tests whether a special high-fat, very low-carbohydrate diet (ketogenic) can help people with advanced liver scarring from fatty liver disease. It aims to see if this diet improves liver health without harmful side effects.
This trial tests whether eating a low-calorie diet for 7 days before liver surgery helps reduce complications after the operation. It may help you recover more easily after surgery.
This trial tests whether changing your diet before your breast surgery can help people with early, hormone-receptor (ER/PR+) breast cancer. It focuses on patients who have not started treatment yet and want to keep surgery as the main treatment.
