Diet program vs bariatric surgery for liver health
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to help people with obesity and liver problems: a special diet program or weight-loss surgery. Researchers will look at changes in fats, immune system, and genetic markers to see which approach works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be obese (BMI over 30).
- You must have a liver or bile duct condition diagnosed by a Fibroscan (a special liver scan).
- You must be 18 years old or older.

This study tests whether combining diet with two different exercise programs can help people who are overweight or obese and have fatty liver disease. The goal is to see which program works best to reduce liver fat and improve health.
This study looks at how fat build-up in the liver relates to metabolism in people who are scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. By doing special blood tests and MRI scans, researchers hope to better understand liver health and improve care.
This study tests whether bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) improves severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced liver scarring in people who are obese. You may also need liver biopsies to confirm your liver disease before and after treatment.
This study compares two programs for people with severe obesity: an intensive weight-loss diet and a weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery). It aims to see which approach works better for long-term health.
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
This study tests if weight loss surgery can improve liver fibrosis (scarring) in people with obesity and advanced liver disease. It may help those considering surgery to know if their liver health can get better.
