What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and aims to categorize them into NAFLD and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) groups. Researchers will collect various clinical examination indexes, including liver enzyme levels and triglyceride content, to assess the condition and prognosis of the patients. Additionally, biological samples such as serum, feces, urine, and liver tissue will be collected for future testing. The study does not involve any additional interventions or treatments for the participants.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a better understanding of NAFLD and inform the development of effective therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored NAFLD, but this observational approach focusing on detailed clinical indexes and sample collection is relatively novel.
