Formula Diet Treatment for NASH Patients.

Formula Diet Treatment for Weight Reduction in NASH Patients.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - also called fatty liver - is medically a serious problem because the liver tissue becomes fatty and stiff, and inflammatory reactions occur. This increases the risk of liver fibrosis (= scarring of the liver), liver cirrhosis (= shrunken liver), a liver tumor or death. So far there is no recognized treatment option for this disease. However, there is evidence that a lifestyle change based on a reduced carbohydrate diet, more exercise and a significant weight loss that can improve NASH.
