Soymilk for liver health in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if drinking soymilk can improve liver health in children who are overweight or have a fatty liver. It compares soymilk to cow's milk to see which is better for reducing liver fat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child must be overweight or have obesity.
- Your child must have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or a high level of the liver enzyme ALT (above 30).

- Your child must not be allergic to soy or cow's milk.
- Your child must be able to undergo an MRI scan.

This trial looks at nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (fatty liver with inflammation) in children. It is meant to test whether a new approach can help improve this liver problem without being caused by alcohol or other known liver diseases.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a soluble fiber supplement can improve fatty liver disease in children who have obesity and confirmed NAFLD. It may help reduce liver fat and related liver enzyme elevations measured during clinic visits and MRI.
This study looks at how fructose (a type of sugar) may affect fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in teens with obesity. The goal is to learn whether fructose changes liver health, using MRI/MRS scans to measure the liver.
This study looks at whether children with celiac disease have fat buildup in the liver. It aims to help doctors understand and manage this condition better.
This trial tests whether milk thistle can help children and young adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver unrelated to alcohol use. It aims to see if the supplement can lower liver enzymes and improve liver health.
This study compares different diet plans to see which works best to reduce fat in the liver of children and teens with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease). If your child drinks sugary beverages often and has certain health risks like being overweight or having high cholesterol, this trial may help find a healthy eating plan that works.
