Filter by:This study is proposed to explore the correlation between fatty content of fatty liver and the difference of CT attenuation value in men using dual-energy CT, and to set up a threshold for diagnosis of fatty liver.
This study looks at the iontophoresis of urotensin II in chronic liver disease patients.
Morphine can induce constriction of sphincter of oddi and glucagon can facilitate bile secretion and dilatation of bile duct. We conduct this randomized double blinded study to evaluate the effect of enhancement in MRCP using intravenous morphine and glucagon.
The proposed study aims to evaluate, investigate, and follow-up patients suffering from acute and chronic liver disease. The study will focus on understanding diseases affecting the liver. Patients participating in the study will first undergo a routine check-up as an outpatient. They will be asked to provide blood and urine samples for laboratory testing and will undergo an ultrasound of the liver. Ultrasound examinations use sound waves to determine the size and texture of the liver. After the initial visit subjects will be requested to follow-up once a year at the outpatient department for a similar check-up. Additional tests may be requested throughout the study to provide information for other research studies and individual consent will be requested. These tests may include liver biopsies, skin biopsies, and / or specialized blood, plasma, and lymphocyte examinations. Subjects that qualify for medications presently being studied may be offered the opportunity to benefit from experimental therapy.
