Blood cell study in metabolic diseases
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at blood cells and factors in people with metabolic diseases like fatty liver, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing them with healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a condition like fatty liver disease, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, or a high risk of liver scarring, OR you are a healthy volunteer without these conditions.
- You do not have type 1 diabetes.
- You have not had a blood transfusion or major bleeding in the last six months.
- You are not anemic (low blood count).
- You are not taking certain medications that affect blood sugar, blood clotting, or immune function (unless you have diabetes and are on diabetes medication).

This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
This study looks at how fat is processed in the body for people with different health conditions, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. It aims to find new ways to improve treatment by understanding these differences.
This trial looks at how common fatty liver disease is in people with type 1 diabetes. Doctors will check your liver with tests to learn more and find out if you might be at risk.
This study collects blood samples from donors with excess weight or related health issues to better understand fatty liver disease. If you are a blood donor between 40 and 65, and have overweight, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol, or high blood pressure, you may be able to help.
This study looks at how metabolism works in children and teens who have (or do not have) nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. Participants may include healthy-weight controls, obese controls without NAFLD, and kids with NAFLD who are already scheduled for a liver biopsy for clinical reasons.
