Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease study with biobank
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study collects health information and samples from people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to better understand the condition. It may help researchers find new ways to diagnose or treat this liver problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease (based on a liver biopsy, imaging like ultrasound or MRI, or metabolic problems like obesity, high blood pressure, or abnormal blood sugar or cholesterol)
- You drink fewer than 21 alcoholic drinks per week (men) or 14 per week (women), and you have not been a heavy drinker in the past 5 years
- You do not have type 1 diabetes
- You do not have another liver disease, and you are not taking long-term medications that can cause fatty liver (like high-dose steroids, amiodarone, methotrexate, or tamoxifen)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study takes small samples of liver tissue to grow 3D 'mini livers' (organoids) in the lab. Researchers want to learn how non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a serious fatty liver condition, starts and progresses, which could lead to better treatments.
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 registry collects health and lifestyle information from adults with suspected or confirmed fatty liver (NAFLD) to help researchers better understand the condition. You may be asked about diet, exercise, alcohol intake, and some liver-related tests.
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.
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.
