Chinese Herbal Medicine and Ketogenic Diet for Fatty Liver
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal medicine (CXD) combined with a restrictive ketogenic diet can reduce fat buildup in the liver. You may be a good fit if you have fatty liver disease and are interested in trying this combination approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age between 18 and 50 years old
- Diagnosed with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD—fat buildup in the liver not caused by alcohol)

This study tests whether a daily ketone ester drink can reduce liver fat and improve metabolism in people with excess liver fat. You may join if you are 18–40, have overweight or obesity, and your liver has extra fat.
This trial tests whether a probiotic mixture can improve liver health in people with moderate fatty liver disease (MASLD). It looks at how the probiotic affects liver fat, inflammation, and metabolism.
This study looks at a new non-invasive screening method to predict metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. The goal is to help identify people who may be at risk without needing invasive tests.
This study looks at whether the natural chemicals made by your gut bacteria from the food you eat could affect liver fat and health. If you have MASLD (a fatty liver condition), researchers want to measure these gut-produced substances to better understand the disease.
This study tests whether a special high-fat, low-carb diet (ketogenic diet) can help people with MASLD-related liver scarring that hasn't yet caused major complications. It aims to see if this diet can improve liver health and reduce future risk.
This study surveys doctors in China about how they manage Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), a type of fatty liver disease. It aims to understand current practices and improve patient care.
