Thyroid Disease and Fatty Liver Disease Study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Recently diagnosed with an underactive thyroid (within 3 months) or have thyroid antibodies
- Have fatty liver disease confirmed by ultrasound and a special liver stiffness test
- Do not have diabetes
- Do not drink more than 2–3 drinks per day (or equivalent alcohol amount)
- Liver function tests are not severely abnormal

This study looks at how thyroid problems (both overactive and underactive) may affect liver function tests. It aims to help researchers understand the link between thyroid and liver health.
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 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 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 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 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.
