Brief description The two most common types of liver disease in Australia are chronic hepatitis C (Hep C) and fatty liver disease and both result in more severe liver injury when the person is overweight. We propose to test if weight loss through lifestyle changes such as improving diet or increasing exercise are suitable treatment alternatives for people living with liver disease. This will help doctors better advise patients as to what they can do themselves to improve the health of their liver.
