Filter by:The aim of the present prospective NAFLD cohort study (with biobank), of obese subjects with proven NAFLD based on liver biopsy and/or MRI, is to study factors contributing to the development of NASH in patients with simple steatosis and to identify and validate non-invasive markers for the diagnosis of NASH.
A Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Single Center Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Evaluate Multiple Non-Invasive Liver Fibrosis Imaging Methods in the Assessment of the Efficacy of GR-MD-02 for the Treatment of Liver Fibrosis in Patients with NASH with Advanced Fibrosis
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of intermittent fasting on insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and fat distribution.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BMS-986036 is effective in the treatment of subjects with Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
The goal of this study is to determine effective treatment and identify diagnostic biomarkers for Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Individuals that take part in the study will be participating in either a weight loss surgery (WLS) group or a comprehensive lifestyle intervention (CLI) group. People in the WLS group will receive vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). The CLI group will receive dietary, activity and behavioral interventions provided by trained study staff.
Randomized, single-blind, trial to determine whether a high-protein, low calorie diet is more effective than a control low calorie diet in improving the metabolic and histologic abnormalities in patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease undergoing bariatric surgery.
To study the effects of Flaxseed supplement on lipid profile, liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and hepatic fibrosis in patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), 50 patients who referred to Gastrointestinal (GI) clinic with steatosis grade 2 and 3 will be randomly allocated to receive placebos or 30 grams Flaxseed powder for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence the investigators' diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, some inflammatory markers, and liver fibrosis will be assessed and compared between groups.
Aim: To compare prospectively two bariatric surgery techniques: sleeve gastrectomy (SG) vs gastric bypass (GB) in the evolution of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) measured by the transient elastography in the first year. Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial with morbidly obese patients, between 18-60 years old from a Federal Hospital, Ministry of Health, Brazil. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 - SG (n = 30) and group 2 - GB (n = 30). The randomization was made by lots. In the GB the investigators created 30 ml pouch, with a pancreatic and an alimentary limb of 1 meter, and a calibrated gastroenterostomy (1.5 cm diameter). In SG the investigators calibrated the gastric tube with a bougie number 32 (70 ml). The variables were compared one week before surgery and in the postoperative time (1, 3, 6 and 12 months). The variables were: patient anthropometry, laboratory tests and the transient liver elastography.
This is an epidemiologic study on effect of hepatic steatosis on prognosis and outcomes of patients with chronic hepatitis B.
