NCT03635541 | Recruiting DMC

• 1 other identifier: YYYY-2018-NAFLD
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 500
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

It is an observational study of non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients with a calculated sample size of 500. Liver biopsy proved NAFLD patients will be recruited in this study for 10 years follow-up. Patients will be assessed at baseline, at every six months for blood count, liver function test, fasting blood-glucose, fasting insulin, ferritin, liver ultrasonography, and liver stiffness.

Conditions
