- Abstract
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common liver disease that may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. There is currently no approved pharmacological treatment for NASH. Phyllanthus urinaria is a commonly used hepatoprotective herb that ameliorates NASH in animal studies. We aimed to test the hypothesis that Phyllanthus was superior to placebo in improving histological non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score.
