Filter by:The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the standardized liver cancer risk stratification management can effectively improve the early diagnosis rate of liver cancer in the targeted risk population in China.
The effects of a time-restricted hypocaloric Mediterranean type diet compared to a conventional hypocaloric Mediterranean type diet on blood glucose metabolism and liver steatosis in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease will be investigated.
The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of Jing-Si Herbal Tea on improving the Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients
Evaluate efficacy and safety of ADI-PEG 20 in patients with NASH
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the therapeutic potential of A. soehngenii and pasteurized A. muciniphila combined with B. animalis subsp. lactis and fructo-oligosaccharides with and without conditioned vegan lyophilized fecal microbiota transplantation capsules to reduce NASH in patients with fibrotic NASH. The main questions to answer are: 1. Can NASH be treated by altering the gut microbiota using LFMT capsules? 2. Can NASH be treated using a syntrophic cocktail of synbiotics and will these strains strengthen the effect of FMT? 3. What are the underlying mechanism by which the aforementioned treatments attenuate NASH? Participants will be treated with FMT-capsules or placebo, and all participants will receive a cocktail of 3 strains of probiotics and one type of prebiotic.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, affecting more than 25 % of the population globally. Approximately 20 % - 25 % of NAFLD patients can develop nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which leads to more rapid progression from fibrosis to cirrhosis, and even liver failure or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Early detection and treatment may halt or reverse NAFLD progression. Although liver biopsy has been the well-accepted clinical reference standard for both diagnosis and staging of the different histological changes in NAFLD, this procedure is invasive with complications such as bleeding and infection, and is unreliable for quantifying steatosis due to sampling errors. Magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) currently has been accepted as the preferred alternative to the histological assessment of hepatic steatosis in patients with NAFLD. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) provide additional information of inflammation and fibrotic components of NAFLD. However, important limitations hinder the widespread clinical application of MRI, including high cost, low availability, long scan times and exclusion of patients with metal implants. Ultrasound (US) has been recommended by several guidelines as the first-line screening tool for patients at risk of NAFLD. The developed ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) is designed to assess hepatic steatosis by estimating the frequency-dependent attenuation coefficient (AC) and backscatter coefficient (BSC) through processing acoustic radiofrequency (RF) signals returned from the liver tissue as fat vesicles in hepatocytes have a different characteristic impedance compared to normal liver tissue. UDFF is available on the Acuson Sequoia ultrasound system (Simens Healthineers, Mountain View, CA, USA), with reference to integrated phantom data to correct for system impact, and produces a UDFF value presented as a fat fraction (%), which is potentially related to MRI-PDFF and can be directly compared with MRI-PDFF. In addition, automatic point shear wave elastography (auto-pSWE) is available on the Acuson Sequoia ultrasound system to obtain liver stiffness measurement (LSM) for assessing hepatic fibrosis, simultaneously with UDFF measurement. The prospective, multicenter study aims to evaluate the efficiency of UDFF as a quantitative non-invasive alternative for NAFLD.
To determine the efficiency of lifestyle modification (due to a dietitian or digital application) compared to standard of care.
Totals of 400 chronic hepatitis B or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients with or without cirrhosis will be enrolled. Patients' clinical characteristics, including alanine aminotransferase, aspartic aminotransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, triglyceride and total cholesterol, hepatitis B surface antigen, steatosis, and liver stiffness measurement will be collected. The consistence of liver fibrosis and steatosis assessment between Hepatus and FibroScan will be evaluated in this study.
The goal of this single arm, prospective study is to test the therapeutic response of oral dapagliflozin (Forxiga) 10 mg/day for 24 weeks in non-diabetic MAFLD patients. The primary outcomes are the improvement of liver inflammation or fibrosis parameters after 24 weeks treatment. The adverse events were also recorded.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of GLP-1RA on blood glucose, body weight, glucose and lipid metabolism and fat distribution in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
