Clinical Trial Summary

Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most common and harmful chronic liver disease, and it is increasingly diagnosed in many developed and developing countries. Previous studies suggested a significant association between hyperuricemia and MAFLD and that hyperuricemia plays a causal role in the development of MAFLD. Xanthine oxidase is a key enzyme in uric acid metabolism, and It thus can be considered as is a therapeutic target for MAFLD, so long-term urate-lowering therapy may play a role in amelioration of MAFLD by controlling uric acid levels. So, this study is conducted to assess the effect of controlling hyperuricemia using different xanthine oxidase inhibitors on amelioration of MAFLD.


Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of urate lowering therapy on improvement of steatosis in metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) patients with hyperuricemia, by comparing two xanthine oxidase inhibitors allopurinol (100 mg/day), versus Febuxostat (40 mg/day), versus lifestyle intervention. Primary Outcome: Regression of hepatic steatosis. Secondary Outcome: Improvement of Serum uric acid and incidence of hepatotoxicity. Study design: This study is a prospective, interventional three arm study. Setting: Patients will be recruited from the National Hepatology and Tropical Medicine Research institute, Cairo, Egypt. ;
