Blood and urine tests to predict kidney failure in cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks new blood and urine tests to predict who with advanced liver scarring (cirrhosis) will develop hepatorenal syndrome, a serious kidney problem. The results may help doctors spot risk earlier, especially for people being referred for a liver transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced cirrhosis labeled Child-Pugh B or C
- You are being referred for a liver transplant
- You are willing to sign informed consent to join the study
- You do not have other known kidney diseases (besides the liver-related problem)

This study looks at how the kidneys are affected during a liver transplant in people with hepatorenal syndrome. It uses a small kidney sample (biopsy) taken during the transplant to understand changes.
This study looks at new, non-invasive methods to predict when chronic liver disease might get worse. It could help you and your doctor catch problems early without needing a biopsy or other invasive procedures.
This study looks at how liver cirrhosis affects the kidneys over a short period of time. Being in the study helps doctors understand kidney changes in people with cirrhosis who are in the hospital.
This study follows people with cirrhosis to see how best to detect liver cancer early. If you qualify, you may receive regular monitoring that could help find liver cancer sooner, when treatment is more likely to work.
This trial studies whether special non-invasive ultrasound scans can help predict outcomes in people who have both liver-related high blood pressure in the veins (portal hypertension) and kidney failure. It may help doctors choose better monitoring and treatment for this specific combination of problems.
This study is testing new ways to predict kidney problems after heart surgery. Researchers will look at special markers in the blood or urine to see if they can better identify patients whose kidneys may not recover well.
