Vitamin E for liver protection in alcoholic fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a natural form of vitamin E (tocotrienol) can help protect the liver in people with alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may be a good option if you have mild to moderate alcoholic hepatitis and can stop drinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a history of alcohol use disorder and your liver tests show signs of alcoholic hepatitis (elevated AST and ALT with AST > ALT).
- Your liver disease is not severe enough to need steroids or pentoxifylline.
- You can stop drinking alcohol completely for the study.
- You do not have other liver diseases (like hepatitis B, C, or non-alcoholic fatty liver), and you are not obese or have significant metabolic syndrome.
