Hepatic Encephalopathy and Albumin Lasting Cognitive Improvement
Hypothesis: Improvement in cognitive dysfunction with IV albumin in patients with cirrhosis with prior HE and MHE lasts for several weeks after albumin infusion has ended, and is due to persistent improvement in inflammatory markers, endothelial dysfunction, albumin function and gut microbial changes. This will be a single-arm, single-blind sequential …
Pilot Open-Label Trial of Resistant Potato Starch in Patients With Cirrhosis and Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy
This research is studying how a food product (resistant potato starch) which is a dietary supplement made from potato starch affects the gut bacteria of people with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. The researchers in this study want to understand how potato starch works in the subject's body and how the …
BCAA vs. Rifaximin in Patients With Cirrhosis for Secondary Prophylaxis of HE
Rationale Patients who recover from an episode of overt HE(OHE) are at risk of recurrent episodes of HE and persistent minimal hepatic encephalopathy, impacting their daily functioning and mental health. A multicentric pan-India team will evaluate the role of oral branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) vs Rifaximin as secondary prophylaxis following …
Efficacy and Safety of Cytokine Adsorption and Plasma Exchange in Patients With HBV-ACLF and Sepsis
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the double plasma cytokine adsorption system with sequential low-dose plasma exchange (DPCAS+LPE) in patients with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) complicated by sepsis. The focus is on assessing the impact of the cytokine adsorption column(CA280,Jafron Biomedical Co., Ltd., Zhuhai, …
Affect of Melatonin on Sleep and Cognition in Cirrhosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the affect of melatonin on sleep, cognitive function, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with cirrhosis and a complication called hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does taking melatonin increase REM sleep, an important …
Underdilated-stent Technique Improves Post-TIPS Encephalopathy
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a critical therapeutic approach for managing esophagogastric variceal bleeding and refractory ascites in decompensated cirrhosis patients. To date, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains one of the most common complications following TIPS procedures, and prediction and prevention of post-TIPS HE have always been a hotspot in …
Comparison of Inflammatory Profiles and Regenerative Potential in Alcoholic Liver Disease
The main objective of this study is the comparison of the profile of the pro-inflammatory cytokines at the patients suffering from an alcoholic hepatitis to that of two groups witnesses: patients suffering from an alcoholic cirrhosis and unhurt patients of chronic liver disease
Three Types of Nucleotide/Nucleoside Analogues Treatment in HBV Related ACLF
This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of three types of nucleotide/nucleoside analogues in treatment of HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.
Goal-Directed Hemostatic Resuscitation Trial in ACLF Induced Coagulopathy
In this project, we plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastometry-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. We …
A Study to Evaluate Role of Inhaled Amikacin to Prevent Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Patients With Cirrhosis
The recent AMIKINHAL trial found that prophylactic inhaled amikacin was effective in lowering the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. Since aspiration is a common complication of cirrhosis patients with HE (7 out of 10 patients develop some type of HE) who are hospitalized to the liver ICU also …
