Ezetimibe for the treatment of non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease: A meta‐analysis

Abstract

Although ezetimibe attenuated serum liver enzymes and hepatic steatosis and ballooning in six studies, it improved only hepatocyte ballooning in randomized controlled trials. Larger studies and more randomized placebo-controlled trials are necessary to determine the effects of ezetimibe on NAFLD and NASH.
