Mediterranean diet vs. Western diet for fatigue in AIH
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet can reduce fatigue in people with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) compared to a typical Western diet. You will receive frozen meals for a week and track your energy levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) diagnosed more than 6 months ago, confirmed by a liver biopsy or a specific scoring system.
- Your AIH medicines must be stable (no changes in the last 4 weeks).
- You must have fatigue that is worse than average (a score of 55 or higher on a fatigue survey).
- You cannot have celiac disease, advanced liver scarring, or other serious liver conditions.
- You must be able to store and prepare frozen meals delivered weekly, and be willing to follow a Mediterranean or Western diet for the study.

This study examines the molecular profile of autoimmune hepatitis (a liver condition where the immune system attacks liver cells) using lipid analysis. Researchers hope to better understand the disease and potentially improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
This study looks at factors that help predict how well people with autoimmune hepatitis respond to treatment. It is for patients who are newly diagnosed or have not had treatment for at least 3 months, and who have had a liver biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
This study follows people with autoimmune hepatitis (a condition where the immune system attacks the liver) and requires key blood test results at diagnosis. It may help doctors better understand this disease and how it progresses in patients in China.
This test compares two medicines—azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)—to see which is better at putting autoimmune hepatitis into remission without using steroids first. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and haven't started treatment yet.
This study is building a database and collection of samples from people with autoimmune hepatitis in Italy. It aims to learn more about the disease and improve care.
This study is looking at specific immune cells (T cells) in the blood of people with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) to better understand the disease. If you have untreated AIH and meet certain criteria, you may be able to participate.
