Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with excessive alcohol consumption or other serious health conditions may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
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.
