Clinical Trial Summary

Decompensated cirrhosis is associated with sarcopenia. TIPS is an efficient treatment of portal hypertension. Based on our retrospective data, TIPS induces in 30% of cirrhotic patients metabolic disorders associated with diabetes or pre-diabetes. The main objective is to measure the cumulative incidence of diabetes and pre-diabetes 6 months after TIPS insertion.


Clinical Trial Description

Based on our retrospective data, we expect that one-third of cirrhotic patients develop glucose dysregulation after TIPS. A better knowledge of the metabolic disorders related to the TIPS could allow to prevent the deleterious effects of the TIPS on the disease (decrease of the insulin-sensitivity, fat gain ...), by simple interventions on diet or physical activity. We will assess the incidence of diabetes and pre-diabetes, and the influence of TIPS on nutritional status and sarcopenia. Patients will be follow-up 6 months after TIPS. We will explore the hormonal mechanisms that explain these changes. ;
