Gut, Platelets, and Liver in Fatty Liver Disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the connection between the gut, platelets, and liver affects the progression of fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand why some people's liver disease gets worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) based on current medical guidelines.
- You cannot have advanced cirrhosis with complications like fluid buildup or confusion.
- You cannot have other liver diseases (e.g., from infections or immune problems), gut issues like celiac or inflammatory bowel disease, or prior gastrointestinal surgery.
- You cannot have a condition that affects bleeding or clotting, or a current or past cancer.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 follows adults with nonalcohol-related fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to better understand the condition and what factors affect it. It may help researchers learn which patients are most at risk and how care can be improved in the future.
This study uses advanced techniques to analyze liver tissue samples from people with various liver conditions. It aims to better understand how liver diseases develop and progress, which may help improve future treatments.
This trial tests if special foods made from plant proteins can help people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by improving their blood fats. You'll eat these foods while researchers check how well you tolerate them and whether they help your liver.
This study looks at what drives non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and how it affects the body, including immune-related changes. You may be invited if you have confirmed fatty liver disease or, alternatively, if you are a healthy person with no liver disease.
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.
