Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

Subject will be randomize in two groups. Group A will receive drug packets containing 2.5 gm sodium benzoate and 5 gm powdered table sugar for 5days.Since the dosage of Sodium Benzoate is Sta t250mg/Kg and then 250mg/Kg in next 24 hours, each patient would be given 750mg /kg stat and 750mg /kg in next 24 hours,keeping in view that 2/3 of powder used would be powdered sugar in the intervention arm. The dose of the powder used would be doubled in case of the ammonia level more than 300 mcg/dl. The drug will be prepared in sterile water and administered per orally or via the nasogastric tube. All the enrolled patients would be treated with SMT as per the recommendations of the EASL/AASLD 2014 guidelines of management of hepatic encephalopathy. Group B will receive 7.5 gm packets of powdered table sugar for 5 days as placebo which is similar in appearance and taste as sodium benzoate.

This study will examine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of omaveloxolone following a single oral dose of omaveloxolone in subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment compared to healthy subjects with normal hepatic function.

in this study, the investigators compare the effect of interval training exercise and electroacupuncture on liver functions in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of liver impairment on the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BMS-986263

The pharmacokinetics of a single dose of pexidartinib was investigated in participants with impaired hepatic function and compared with healthy control participants with normal hepatic function.

Time restricted feeding (TRF) is a novel type of intermittent calorie restriction diet that involves eating a daily period of 8 hours or less. This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of time restricted feeding (TRF) on hepatic fat contents and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese adults over 6 months compared to continuous energy restriction (CER).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Niacinamide supplementation on clinical outcome of fatty liver patients having type II DM through measurement of the following before and after Niacinamide administration: Liver enzymes, Lipid profie, HOMA-IR, Oxidative stress markers and endothelial dysfunction marker. Fibroscan with CAP will be done at baseline and at the end of the trial. Also, Evaluation of quality of life of patients before and after Niacinamide administration using Chronic Liver Disease questionnaire.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese participants. As a secondary endpoint it will be investigated if prednisolone administration induce or worsen the degree of NAFLD in overweight or obese participants using magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy (MRS), and if curcumin can ameliorate this effect. Also, the possible anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin will be elucidated as a range of inflammatory markers before and after intervention will be measured. Thus, prednisolone treatment is used as a model of development of pre-diabetes.

Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) is a major complication in a patient with cirrhosis, impacting the disease outcome, quality of life and survival. Cirrhotics lose muscle mass (MM) while waiting for liver transplant (LT) and even after LT, impacting the outcome of LT. Moreover, LT is elusive for majority of patients in India. The pathophysiology of muscle loss is complicated, multifactorial, interlinked and primarily nutrition driven, which gives clues for targeted therapeutic modalities other than feeding alone. Experimental studies have instilled faith in BCAA in successfully counteracting the pathogenesis of muscle loss. But there is lack of convincing data from clinical studies with direct evidence on muscle growth per se.

NAFLD encompasses the entire spectrum of Fatty liver disease in individuals without significant alcohol consumption, ranging from fatty liver to steatohepatitis to cirrhosis. A high prevalence of NAFLD (62.5%) was observed in overweight/obese Indian adolescent. Lifestyle modification consisting of diet, exercise and weight loss has been advocated to treat patients with NAFLD. European association for study of liver (EASL) guidelines recommends that the macronutrient in the diet should be adjusted according to the Mediterranean diet for weight loss. Mediterranean diet helps to decrease hepatic fat by decreasing lipogenesis, fibrogenesis, inflammation, oxidative stress and by increasing fatty acids beta oxidation.There are numerous studies in adults showing benefit of Mediterranean diet in comparison with other diet in NAFLD, but data on children is very limited. There are no studies in pediatrics showing the benefit of diet intervention in Indian NAFLD children. The aim of this study will be to compare the effect of Indo-Mediterranean diet and calorie restricted on hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in Overweight Indian children and adolescent with Biopsy proven NAFLD.
