Step counting for fatty liver disease management
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a pedometer to track daily steps can help people with a type of fatty liver disease (called MASLD) become more active and improve their health. It may be a good fit if you are not already very active and want to try a simple way to manage your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old.

This study tests whether adding a liver stiffness measurement to a lifestyle program helps people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease) improve their liver health. It is designed for people who have fatty liver and at least one sign of metabolic syndrome, like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This study looks at a new non-invasive screening method to predict metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. The goal is to help identify people who may be at risk without needing invasive tests.
This study tests electronic tools to help doctors identify and care for patients with steatotic liver disease (fatty liver). If you have risk factors like diabetes or elevated liver enzymes, this trial may help improve your care.
This study looks at whether a new program can help people with fatty liver disease become more physically active. It's testing if the program is easy to use and acceptable for patients.
This study checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test (FIB-4) can help detect liver scarring in people with obesity. It may help doctors identify liver problems earlier.
