Uric acid and liver health in obese patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether high uric acid levels are linked to liver scarring (fibrosis) in obese people. It may help find new ways to detect or treat liver problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a BMI of 30 or higher (obese)
- You have high uric acid (over 7 for men, over 6 for women)
- You do not drink heavily (more than 20g alcohol/day for men, 10g for women)
- You do not have hepatitis B or C, or other liver diseases

This study looks at people who are metabolically healthy but overweight or obese, and how that affects their risk of developing fatty liver disease (MASLD) or high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia). It aims to see if 'healthy' obesity still carries hidden health risks.
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 trial is looking for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, kidney disease, or heart disease to screen for high uric acid levels. It aims to understand how common this is and find better ways to manage it.
This study looks at how certain fibers and probiotics might affect uric acid levels in your body. You'll provide a stool sample, and it will be tested in a lab to see if these ingredients can help lower uric acid.
This study looks at how common fatty liver disease and liver scarring are in people with lupus. It may help doctors understand if lupus patients have a higher risk for liver problems.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers—including inflammation and fat levels—can help predict scarring in fatty livers. Understanding this connection may help doctors better identify patients at risk for serious liver damage.
