Protocol summary

Study aim
The effect of Empagliflozin and placebo on fibroscan in nondiabetic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease referred to Firoozgar hospital
Design
Randomized controlled clinical trial with parallel groups, triple blind
Settings and conduct
Nondiabetic patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver are referred to Firoozgar hospital will be randomized to two groups (A and B) and prescribed Empagliflozin in one group and placebo for another group with same coverage and researcher and patients and data analyzer will be blind to type of the drug. primary outcome is change in measured steatosis in fibroscan.
