简要总结

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of Linzhi Jianghuang Fufang Huoxue Anshen Capsule (LJF) for non-alcoholic fatty liver.

详细描述

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), also known as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), refers to a spectrum of conditions characterized by abnormal lipid metabolism leading to fat accumulation within the liver. This spectrum includes non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatic fibrosis, and cirrhosis.

Linzhi Jianghuang Linzhi Jianghuang Fufang Huoxue Anshen Capsule (LJF) is composed of five herbs (e.g., Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Puerariae Lobatae Radix). A total of 180 participants aged 18-65 years with Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF) ≥ 10% will be recruited and randomized to receive either LJF or placebo in a 1:1 ratio for 24 weeks.
