NASH Fitness Intervention for Thrombosis (NASHFit) Trial

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in the United States. The most advanced forms of NAFLD are associated with increased liver-related mortality and lower overall survival. The current standard of care for NAFLD is lifestyle changes through diet and exercise. The human genome and regulation of gene expression is influenced by physical activity. NAFLD is a prothrombotic state with derangements in all three phases of hemostasis leading to clinically important clotting events. Exercise can improve coagulation in healthy persons. In this proposal, we seek to begin a line of work to answer the question “Can lifestyle changes effectively mitigate the increased risk of clotting in patients with NAFLD?” focusing initially on the at-risk population genetically susceptible to advanced disease.
