5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Liver function is a key factor that can help predict the clinical outcome in patients with cirrhosis. Traditionally, liver function was measured using either indocyanine green (ICG) or other radionucleotides. Recently, gadoxetic acid has been reported to show liver function in several studies. There have been several approaches to measure liver function using gadoxetic acid, and hepatocyte fraction is one of the promising methods. Since gadoxetic acid enhanced liver MRI is clinically used world widely, it would be valuable if we can measure liver function using hepatocyte fraction.

Arm Title
CLD and LC
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
Patients with underlying chronic liver disease. Gadoxetic acid enhanced liver MRI and ICG R15 are performed in this group.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
gadoxetic acid enhanced liver MRI
Other Intervention Name(s)
Primovist, Eovist
Intervention Description
Gadoxetic acid enhanced liver MRI is performed and the standard dose of contrast media (0.025mmol/kg) is administered intravenously at a rate of 1mL/sec. Before and after contrast media injection, T1 map sequence is performed to calculate hepatocyte fraction.
Routine MR sequences (T2WI, T1WI, dual-echo sequence, DWI, MR elastography) are performed according to clinical protocol in the institution.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
ICG R15
Other Intervention Name(s)
Indocyanine green retention test
Intervention Description
ICG R15 (Indocyanine green retention test) is performed within 3 days after gadoxetic acid liver MRI, according to clinical standard protocol.
