Benefit of a Hospital Intervention in Patients With Hepatic Steatosis

Sponsor: Consorci Sanitari de l'Alt Penedès i Garraf

Summary

The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether a specialized consultation for controlling metabolic syndrome effectively treats hepatic steatosis in adults. The primary questions it aims to answer are: • Does this specialized consultation increase the number of patients with hepatic steatosis who show improvement after one year of clinical follow-up in said consultation? The improvement of the disease will be assessed through the following parameters: * liver laboratory tests * weight loss * improvement in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Researchers will compare follow-up in the specialized consultation to standard follow-up to assess the effectiveness of the specialized consultation in treating hepatic steatosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The first group will be visited in the specialized consultation every three months for one year and will continue to receive the rest of their follow-up visits. The second group will undergo their usual follow-up visits but will not be visited in the specialized consultation.
