Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 years or older who have a positive hepatitis B surface antigen for at least six months and have been diagnosed with NAFLD.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other chronic liver diseases, such as alcoholic liver disease or other viral hepatitis, or those with pre-existing liver cancer may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the risk factors associated with hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in patients suffering from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). By utilizing a multicenter approach, the study will establish diagnostic models to better understand the progression of liver-related complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. The research will focus on identifying key indicators that predict the risk of severe liver conditions in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic models and risk assessment tools for patients with chronic hepatitis B and NAFLD, potentially reducing the incidence of severe liver complications.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies investigating liver diseases, this specific approach focusing on the intersection of chronic hepatitis B and NAFLD is relatively novel.
