View clinical trials related to Fatty Liver, Nonalcoholic.
Filter by:Type 2 DM is one of the major risk factors for development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The pooled prevalence of fatty liver among diabetics is 54% (95% CI 45%-64%). Until now there is no well-established treatment for fatty liver disease. Study setting: Randomized controlled trial Study population: Patients with type 2 DM plus Fatty Liver. Arms and Interventions 1. Experimental arms: Group 1: metformin +/- insulin +/- sulfonylurea Group 2: Metformin plus vildagliptin+/- insulin +/- sulfonylurea Group 3: Metformin plus liraglutide+/- insulin+/- sulfonylurea Group 4: Metformin plus empagliflozin +/- insulin +/- sulfonylurea
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the safety and efficay of cilostazol in treatment of patients with fatty liver disease. Several previous reports have shown that cilostazol ameliorates lipid imbalances in NAFLD. Cilostazol appeared to exert beneficial effects against NAFLD
A randomized, multi-center study evaluating MET409 (50 mg) alone or in combination with empagliflozin (10 mg) for 12 weeks. Assignment to MET409 will be double-blind and placebo-controlled. Empagliflozin will be incorporated into two of the treatment arms in an open-label manner.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common chronic liver disease worldwide and is a major cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer in Western countries. Because of its close association with obesity and diabetes, most patients are seen by primary care physicians and endocrinologists rather than hepatologists. Previous studies have shown that NAFLD is under-recognized outside specialist settings. As a result, many patients are undiagnosed and not receiving specific treatments. With this background, we aim to test the hypothesis that the use of simple fibrosis scores as part of a diabetes complications screening program followed by electronic reminder messages is more effective than usual care in prompting physicians to correctly identify patients with suspected NAFLD and advanced liver fibrosis for specialist referral or further liver assessment. Our secondary aim is to test the hypothesis that the use of fibrosis scores and electronic reminder messages can increase the number of patients with confirmed diagnosis of advanced liver fibrosis.
