Study risk of fatty liver in low birth weight adults
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether being born with low birth weight is linked to a higher chance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver not caused by heavy drinking). It compares people born with low birth weight to people born with typical birth weight to better understand risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 looks at adults with different long-term liver conditions that are associated with fatty liver. It helps researchers better understand these diseases and factors linked to them.
This is an observational study for people diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty buildup in the liver not mainly caused by heavy drinking). It may help researchers better understand this condition, especially how it shows up on tests and how people report relevant health information.
