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 study looks at new scoring systems to predict how patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (a sudden worsening of long-term liver disease) will do. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
This study looks at why some people with liver cirrhosis develop confusion after upper abdominal surgery. It uses advanced biological tests (called multi-omics) to find clues that might help prevent this confusion in the future.
This study looks at people with liver cirrhosis who develop a sudden, severe worsening of their liver function (called acute-on-chronic liver failure). It aims to better understand this condition and how it affects patients in the intensive care unit, which could help improve care.
This study looks at whether measuring spleen stiffness and simple blood tests can predict if the liver will recover in people with decompensated cirrhosis. It may help doctors know which patients can improve with treatment.
This study looks at whether different scoring tools can better predict outcomes for people with cirrhosis who are waiting for a liver transplant. It may help improve how transplant urgency is decided.
