Blood Collection Biorepository for Liver Disease Research

This study is creating a collection of blood samples (a biorepository) from people with different liver conditions like Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B, fibrosis, and cirrhosis, as well as from people without liver disease. The goal is to provide high-quality samples to researchers studying how fatty liver and viral diseases affect the liver. This will help them make new discoveries and improve treatments. You can join if you are 7 years or older and have a liver disease or are a healthy control. The study aims to collect 1000 samples over 52 weeks.

Study design
