Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of screening for liver disease with liver stiffness measurement on abstinence or light consumption after 6 months in individuals who are receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder and without a history of liver disease. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation comparing A) an invitation to a liver stiffness measurement, blood sampling and leaflet on alcohol-related disease (intervention) with B) an invitation to blood sampling (control). The primary outcome is 'abstinence or light consumption' (≤ 10 units/week) throughout the last months, and assessed 6 months after randomization.
This is a double-blind, phase 2 study to evaluate safety and efficacy of rosuvastatin in comparison to placebo after 2 years in patients with compensated cirrhosis.
Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is a common health problem, affecting up to 38,9% of adult population. HD is also a common finding in up to 36% of cirrhotic patients, as hemorrhoidal plexus is a possible site of portosystemic venous anastomosis. Cirrhotic patients represent a group often neglected in clinical trials so, little is known about the optimal treatment for HD these patients. The objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment of grade I, II and III internal HD with polidocanol foam in cirrhotic patients.
This multicenter trial is being conducted to determine if sequential lactulose and Tele (virtual) Tai-Chi reduces the rate of injurious fall, non-injurious falls, incident overt Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), and death or liver transplant over 24 weeks. Participants that are enrolled will be randomized to stage one of this project for approximately 12 weeks. After completing stage one, participants will be re-randomized to stage 2 of the project that will last approximately 12 more weeks. The study hypothesizes that sequential lactulose/TeleTai-Chi will reduce falls, incident overt HE, death and physical frailty and will improve cognitive function, and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) over 24 weeks compared to other treatment combinations.
This observational study evaluates the concentration of immune protein S100A8/A9 in different liver failure syndromes, its interaction with the immune system and validity as an immunotherapeutic target to improve survival in patients with advanced cirrhosis and/or acute on chronic liver failure.
Patients with clinically significant portal hypertension allocated to implantation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) at the Department of Medicine II of the University Medical Center Freiburg, Germany will be offered to participate in this prospective observational trial. Clinical and laboratory as well as outcome parameters will be assessed before and within the first 12 months after TIPS implantation following a regular follow-up schedule with clinical visits at the University Medical Center Freiburg. During follow-up visits, serum/plasma samples and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are collected and stored in a associated biobank.
The objective of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical utility of the combined assay of 3 biomarkers: α-FP, α-FP-L3 and DCP (simultaneously measured by µTASWakoTM i30 automated in vitro diagnostic system) in high-risk subjects to develop this neoplasm. In particular, it aims to: - Evaluate the clinical utility of the combined use of α-FP, α-FP-L3 and DCP in predicting the onset of HEPATOCARCINOMA (HCC); - Evaluate the performance of GALAD and GALADUS scores in the early diagnosis of HCC; - Evaluate the association between the levels of the three biomarkers (individually and in combination with each other) and the stage of HCC
The purpose of this study is to assess the superiority of esmolol echocardiography over conventional echocardiography in the diagnosis of subclinical myocardial involvement associated with diabetes mellitus 2, cirrhosis and antineoplastic treatments.
The main trial objective is to ascertain whether the metabolism activity of selected cytochrome (CYP) isozymes caffeine (CYP1A2 probe drug), S-warfarin (CYP2C9 probe drug), omeprazole (CYP2C19 probe drug), metopolol (CYP2D6 probe drug), and midazolam (CYP3A probe drug) are similar or different in F4 liver cirrhosis patients on standard therapy compared to healthy subjects.
The main trial objective, is to ascertain whether the transport activity, given by the maximum concentration (Cmax) and the area under the curve (AUC0-24) values for the different components in the transporter cocktail are similar or different in F4 liver cirrhosis patients on standard therapy compared to healthy subjects.
