Filter by:Study to test the effect of the drug "L-ornithine.L-aspertate" (LOLA) on microorganisms in the digestive tract in patients with liver cirrhosis (damage of the liver due to liver disease)
A proof-of-concept placebo-controlled trial to explore the acute and 14-day effects of empagliflozin on natriuresis and total body water in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. We will additionally investigate its effect on neurohumoral activation, and renal hemodynamics.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) versus placebo for treating muscle cramps in cirrhotic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on muscle cramp frequency in cirrhotic patients - Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on muscle cramp duration and severity in cirrhotic patients - Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on quality of life in cirrhotic patients with muscle cramps Participants with cirrhosis who have experienced muscle cramps at least once per week will be randomized to receive either a placebo or 12.45 grams of BCAA orally per day for 12 weeks.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation of the calculated portal pressure gradient (PPG) obtained by direct portal and hepatic pressure measurements with a conventional 22 G needle guided by EUS and indirect portal vein pressure measurements using the interventional radiology based hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) procedure.
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the capsules that contain bacteria from healthy individuals when used to treat alcohol craving and drinking.
The study aims to compare the potential benefit of allopurinol in reducing the risk of developing cirrhosis-related complications, delaying the onset of hepatocellular carcinoma, and improving survival. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate their impact on parents' related quality of life
This study aims to recruit 3000 people with liver cirrhosis into a Prospective cohort for early detection of Liver cancer - the Pearl cohort. The study team believe that using a combination of novel tests may improve the detection of early Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
Patients meet Baveno VI criteria (with a liver stiffness <20kPa and with a platelet count >150,000 are considered to have very low risk of having varices requiring treatment, but whether these patients can be followed up by repetition of this criteria lacks sufficient evidence. This study aimed to assess the value of Baveno VI criteria for following up and monitoring of varices needing treatment in patients with compensated cirrhosis.
The study aims to compare the potential benefit of allopurinol versus atorvastatin in reducing the risk of developing cirrhosis-related complications, delaying the onset of hepatocellular carcinoma, and improving survival. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate their impact on parents' related quality of life.
