About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) focused on measuring CLD
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Over 18 years of age
Ability and willingness to sign the Informed Consent Form
For patient group:
- a. Known chronic liver disease (based on medical history)
For healthy volunteers:
3.b. No known liver disease (based on medical history)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Gastric bypass surgery or extensive small bowel resection
- Total parenteral nutrition
- Pregnant or breast feeding
- Allergy to acetaminophen and/or other related medications.
- Documented drug-related concurrent hepatotoxicity or drug-related silent steatosis or drug-related fibrosis (e.g. amiodarone, methotrexate and tamoxifen).
- Uncontrolled malabsorption or diarrhea
- Placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)
- Subject should not have taken any of the following for at least 48 hours prior to the breath test: Acyclovir, allopurinol, carbamazepine, cimetidine, ciprofloxacin, daidzein, (herbal) disulfiram, echinacea, enoxacin, famotidine, fluvoxamine, methoxsalen, mexiletine, montelukast, norfloxacin, phenylpropanolamine, phenytoin, propafenone, rifampin, terbinafine, ticlopidine, thiabendazole, verapamil, zileuton or oral contraceptives or any medication that might interfere with Methacetin metabolism or might affect CYP 1A2
- Subject should not have taken amiodarone within the last 30 days prior to the breath test

Arm Type
Experimental
Experimental
Arm Label
CLD with MPBA and BID
HV with MPBA and BID
Arm Description
Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) patients of all degrees will be offered to be tested on the MPBA (multi purpose breath analyzer) and BID (BreathID) on a walk- in basis with , proving they meet inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Healthy volunteers (HV) with no known liver disease will undergo the breath test with the MPBA and the BID before and after substrate ingestion.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
DOB Peak
The DOB (Delta over Baseline) is measured before and after ingestion of challenging test substrate: 13C- Methacetin. The peak of the DOB is indicative of liver health.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Number of subjects with adverse events related to breath test substrate
Adverse events within 48 hours of the breath test will be recorded

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to confirm that the new generation state of the art breath analyzer gives equivalent results to the previous model of the Exalenz breath analyzer.
Detailed Description
Healthy and chronic liver disease subjects of all grades will be tested to see that the two devices give equivalent results in both devices. Subjects will be connected to both devices at the same time and will be tested for one hour.
The breath test includes automatic baseline breath collection, 13C-Methacetin ingestion in solution and breath collection post ingestion.
