About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for End Stage Liver Disease focused on measuring Bioelectric impedance analysis, BIA, ESLD, LVP, Large volume paracentesis, Ascites, Liver, Hepatic

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with ESLD requiring LVP.
  • Age over 18.
  • Ability to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Organ retransplant candidates.
  • Patient with use of any investigational agent within 30 days before LVP.
  • Pregnant or lactating.
  • Patients with non-bioprosthetic heart valves pacemakers, defibrillators, artificial joints, pins, plates, or other types of metal objects in the body.
  • Amputations other than fingers or toes.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Efficacy and utility of BIA in determining body composition and nutritional status using multi-frequency machines in patients with ESLD and ascites requiring LVP.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Quantify the difference in BIA pre and post LVP to evaluate the impact of oncotic pressure in the assessment of total body composition.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to see how effective bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) is in determining body composition (the amount of fat versus muscle in the body) and nutritional status in patients with End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD)
Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to report the validity of mBIA to determine body composition changes pre and post LVP (Large Volume Paracentesis) 18 years of age or older Cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites requiring LVP (a treatment to remove large volumes of excess fluid from the abdominal cavity) End Stage Liver Disease
