Predicting who develops serious liver worsening after surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at your liver health before and after surgery to predict the risk of “acute-on-chronic liver failure,” which means a sudden worsening of liver function on top of an existing liver condition. If you qualify, your doctors may use study data to better identify who needs closer monitoring after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You have chronic liver disease, such as liver cirrhosis (scarring) or non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (high pressure in the liver’s circulation).
- You are scheduled to have a surgical procedure.
- You can understand the study details and sign the consent form in person.
- You can fully take part in the study for the entire planned time period.

This study looks at when liver transplant is offered and what outcomes happen in people with cirrhosis who have severe “acute-on-chronic” worsening. It may help doctors decide which patients benefit most from transplant and improve care after listing or not listing.
This trial is testing new scoring systems to better predict how patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure will do. It may help doctors make more informed treatment decisions for people with this serious liver condition.
This study looks at new blood markers to better predict recovery in patients hospitalized for complications of cirrhosis (like fluid buildup, confusion, or bleeding). You may qualify if you were recently hospitalized for these issues and are expected to go home soon.
This study tests whether a surgical procedure (splenectomy with azygoportal disconnection) combined with a lipid-lowering medication (LSD) can improve cholesterol levels and reduce bleeding complications in people with advanced liver disease. Researchers will follow participants for 2 years to measure changes in blood lipids and overall health.
This study uses different scoring systems to predict how well patients with cirrhosis will do while waiting for a liver transplant. It helps doctors understand which patients are most likely to benefit from the transplant.
This study looks at people with advanced chronic liver disease to find ways to predict when they might get worse or develop liver cancer. Researchers hope to use this information to prevent complications and improve care.
