Brief Summary  
The overall prevalence of NAFLD/MASLD in India is 38.6% among adults and 35.4% among children. Studies suggest that the prevalence of MASLD in Indian urban and rural populations is higher than the average estimated global prevalence of 25%. The entity of NAFLD encompasses a spectrum from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC. The treatment options for NAFLD/MASLD include diet and exercise, which are associated with poor compliance. Apart from control of comorbidities, including control of diabetes, the only available approved drug is Resmetirom. This drug has been approved by the U.S. FDA recently for managing patients with noncirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH or MASH) and moderate-to-advanced hepatic fibrosis. This drug has not been tested in the Indian population and is not available in India. There is an unmet need for therapeutic options for NAFLD/MASLD which affects almost 25% of the global population. 
In this proposal, we plan to study the Prakriti of patients with NAFLD/MASLD and correlate it with long-term outcomes. We also plan to conduct RCTs to assess the efficacy of Ayurvedic therapies in patients with NAFLD/MASLD
