Active clinical trials for "Liver Cirrhosis"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation in the treatment of non-occlusive portal vein thrombosis in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major globally cause of death and morbidity.Chronic hepatitis C is the leading cause of end-stage liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver-related death in Egypt.It could be considered a special type of metabolic diseases involving insulin resistance (IR) which accelerates fibrosis and modulation of lipid-cholesterol biosynthesis with increased risk for ischemic heart diseases.It could be considered a special type of metabolic diseases involving insulin resistance (IR) which accelerates fibrosis and modulation of lipid-cholesterol biosynthesis with increased risk for ischemic heart diseases .Increased prevalence of IR and type 2 diabetes mellitus extensively reported in HCV infections

Large volume paracentesis (LVP) with albumin administration is the standard of care for patients with refractory ascites complicating end-stage liver disease. However, the use of albumin is frequently limited due to expense and occasional short supply. The goal of this study is to determine if the administration of Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) during large volume paracentesis is effective in lowering plasma renin activity by 25% compared to baseline.

Study Design: Double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial Study Duration: 2 years Study Center: Single center Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona Objectives: To assess the effect of Vivomixx® on neuroinflammation and systemic inflammatory response in patients with cirrhosis

The study aims to compare the potential benefit of allopurinol in reducing the risk of developing cirrhosis-related complications, delaying the onset of hepatocellular carcinoma, and improving survival. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate their impact on parents' related quality of life

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of polyethylene glycol is superior and more safe in treating hepatic encephalopathy compared to lactulose and also to determine if treatment with polyethylene glycol will reduce the duration of hospital stay.

The main purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in the detection and grading of liver fibrosis, so that the investigators can reduce the need of invasive techniques such as liver biopsy and transjugular hepatic venous portal pressure gradient (HVPG) measurements to assess the degree of liver scarring and portal hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and fenofibrate is more effective than UDCA alone in the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis.

This is a multi-centre, multi-national, open study to assess the pharmacokinetics of NRL972 in patients with hepatic cirrhosis CTP-classes A, B, and C (histologically confirmed by liver biopsy). The pharmacokinetics of NRL972 will be referenced to a Clinical Staging Matrix obtained during a clinical work-up of patients with hepatic cirrhosis. Patients to be studied will have histologically established hepatic cirrhosis or confirmed hepatic cirrhosis by an objective imaging study without confounding end-stage co-morbidity. Within 14 days of confirming eligibility, the investigations will be conducted over 2-5 days with the test procedures (clinical laboratory tests, ultrasound (US)-investigations, gastroscopy, NRL972- and MEGX'-test). Up to one week after the NRL972-test, a follow-up telephone call will be made.

Evaluate the feasibility of the Liver Incyte system for liver elasticity measurement in healthy volunteers and patients with liver fibrosis. To evaluate the discriminatory ability of elasticity measurements generated by Liver Incyte for healthy volunteers versus patients with liver fibrosis in comparison to FibroScan measurements.
