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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have no history of thyroid problems (like nodules, cancer, or overactive/underactive thyroid).
- You do not drink more than 4 alcoholic drinks per day.

This study looks at how a specific gut bacteria (Ruminococcus gnavus) and the chemicals it makes are linked to a type of fatty liver disease called MAFLD. By joining, you'll help researchers understand this connection, which may lead to better treatments in the future.
This study is testing ways to prevent and treat liver scarring (fibrosis) caused by a condition called MAFLD, which is a buildup of fat in the liver. If you have this condition and some liver scarring, this trial may offer a chance to help manage it.
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 (hypothyroidism) is linked to more severe liver scarring in people with fatty liver disease (MASLD). You may be asked to participate if you have fatty liver and either have hypothyroidism or a normal thyroid, to help doctors understand how these conditions are connected.
This study looks at whether having an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) makes liver scarring worse in people with fatty liver disease. It uses simple blood tests and ultrasound to measure fibrosis without needing a biopsy.
This study looks at how an underactive thyroid might affect fat buildup in the liver. If you have hypothyroidism and no diabetes or severe obesity, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about this link.
