Navy beans for fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding navy beans to your regular diet can reduce liver fat and improve liver health in people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD. You'll eat beans daily for several months and attend regular checkups, including MRI scans and blood tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a more detailed way to examine the liver in people with fatty liver disease who also have other health risks. The doctors want to see if this extra testing helps decide whether you need treatment.
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 compares two treatments for liver scarring in people with overweight or related health issues. One group follows a special diet with restricted eating times, while the other takes a combination of two medications (naltrexone and bupropion). It aims to see which approach better improves liver fibrosis.
This study is testing whether an MRI can help doctors see liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease. It is for patients who already need a liver biopsy as part of their care, to compare the MRI results with the biopsy.
This study tests a new drug called ALN-CIDEB for people with fatty liver disease (MASLD or MASH). The goal is to see if it can reduce liver fat and improve liver health. You may qualify if you have a higher BMI and evidence of liver fat on imaging tests.
This trial tests whether eating a plant-based diet can improve liver health and reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in people with fatty liver disease. If you qualify, you may be asked to follow a plant-based diet and have your liver health monitored over time.
