Summary

"This trial aims to find out how much oxalate the body makes naturally each day in patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) by collecting urine samples after fasting

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), commonly known as fatty liver disease. Participants should be able to follow a controlled diet and provide urine samples.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how a low-oxalate fixed diet affects the body's natural production of oxalate in patients with MASLD by analyzing fasted urine samples.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include digestive discomfort or food cravings due to the restricted nature of the low-oxalate diet.
