Non-Invasive Portal and Hepatic Vein Pressure Estimation
Background Portal hypertension (PH) is a spectrum of complications of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and cirrhosis, with severe manifestations including ascites and gastroesophageal varices. It is therefore important that timely and easily diagnosing PH has relevant prognostic and therapeutic implications. The current gold standard to evaluate PH is by hepatic …
Ultrasound With Subharmonic Imaging and Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) to Identify Portal Hypertension
This clinical trial tests the how well an ultrasound with subharmonic imaging and the subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) technique works in identifying portal hypertension (PH). An ultrasound takes pictures of the inside of the body by bouncing sound waves off organs. PH is high blood pressure in the vein …
Genotype-phenotype Relationship Between Cryptogenic Cholestasis and Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis
Genotype-phenotype relationship between adult cryptogenic cholestasis and mutations in genes responsible for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis
Wilson's Disease Treated With D-Penicillamine: Characterization of Skin Damage Secondary to Treatment by Measuring Skin Elasticity
Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder, resulting from an anomaly present on the ATP7B gene located on chromosome 13, causing a progressive accumulation of copper in various organs such as the liver, nervous system and cornea, leading to various hepatic and neurological disorders and a systemic evolution. Currently, the first-line …
Effect of Insulin Lowering on Lipogenesis
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a one-week course of diazoxide (2 mg/kg per dose x 14 doses) and placebo in people with obesity and insulin resistance (IR) with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The main question it aims to answer are how mitigation of compensatory …
Effects of Almonds in Glucose-intolerant Adults (AGAMEMNON)
Tree nuts - such as almonds - contribute to beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet on risk for cardiovascular events, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, inflammation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Almonds provide few carbohydrates, but lots of unsaturated fat and dietary fiber. But to which extent and by which …
Effects of Terlipressin and Somatostatin on Portal Pressure in Patients Undergoing Living Donor Liver Transplantation
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of somatostatin and terlipressin on lowering portal pressure in patients with portal hypertension undergoing liver transplantation, and to investigate whether there are differences in clinical outcomes between the two drugs. The study will evaluate the decrease in portal pressure …
Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave for Liver Fibrosis in MASLD Patients: The RUMIPAMBA Trial
Currently, there is no description of the contribution of the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided shear wave elastography (SWE) when describing liver fibrosis in patients with screening criteria of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), with absent-to-mild liver fibrosis. Similar research has been published but using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), recommended mainly …
Nutrition and Exercise Prehabilitation in Patients Awaiting Liver Transplantation
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a diet with even protein distribution plus exercise (Group A) versus a diet with skewed protein distribution plus exercise (Group B) versus standard dietary and physical activity advice (Group C) on nutritional status, body composition and functional status in patients awaiting liver …
Efficacy of Conventional Dose Protocol vs Low Dose Protocol Albumin Use in Patients With Cirrhosis and High Risk Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
The role of Albumin in prevention and Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) who are at high risk of AKI development has been clearly defined, which decreases the morbidity and mortality. However the conventional dose recommended by the guidelines is usually not tolerated …
