Thyroid function and fatty liver disease study
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your thyroid might be linked to fatty liver disease (MAFLD). It aims to help researchers understand if thyroid problems play a role in this condition, which could lead to better treatments.

This study looks at how a specific gut bacteria (Ruminococcus gnavus) and its byproducts are linked to fatty liver disease (MAFLD). It compares people with the condition to healthy individuals to better understand the connection.
This study looks at the connection between thyroid problems (especially when the thyroid doesn't make enough hormone) and a common liver condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers want to understand how these two conditions relate to each other in people without diabetes.
This study looks at whether having an underactive thyroid can affect the build-up of scar tissue in the liver in people with a condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease linked to metabolic problems). If you have both underactive thyroid and fatty liver, this could help us understand your risk for liver damage.
This study looks at fatty liver disease in people who have hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). The goal is to better understand the connection and what might help patients.
This trial tests whether thyroid hormone can improve nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (fatty liver with inflammation) in Veterans. You may be asked to have a medically needed liver biopsy, and the study also focuses on safety in people with related conditions like diabetes and heart risks.
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.
