PMID 25524401

Prospective randomised controlled trial: 74 people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, six months of phlebotomy plus lifestyle advice versus lifestyle advice alone. Phlebotomy lowered ferritin but did not change liver fat, liver enzymes or insulin resistance compared with the control group.
