Home hospital care for adults with advanced liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This pilot study tests whether a “home hospital” program can safely care for people with advanced liver disease after they are admitted to the hospital. It may reduce time in the hospital while still treating serious complications like fluid buildup, breathing fluid, or confusion from liver disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) confirmed by scan, tissue test, and/or liver stiffness test
- You recently came to the emergency department or general hospital medicine floor
- You have advanced liver disease symptoms needing treatment, such as fluid in the belly, fluid around the lungs, or confusion from liver disease

This study tests whether adding palliative care (extra support for symptoms and planning) during a hospital stay helps people with advanced liver disease and their caregivers feel better and plan ahead.
This study tests remote monitoring for people with liver cirrhosis. Instead of always coming to the clinic, you may use tools at home to track your health, which could make managing your condition easier.
This study looks at people with very advanced liver problems to better understand what happens in real life. It may help doctors improve care for advanced cirrhosis and certain liver cancers.
This trial studies a palliative care approach—comfort-focused support aimed at improving quality of life—for people with liver cirrhosis. It may help by addressing symptoms and planning care together with you and your family.
This study tests a new way to screen for liver cancer in people with chronic liver disease, especially those with cirrhosis or significant liver scarring. It uses blood tests and imaging to catch cancer early.
This trial tests whether certain adults can safely receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying in the hospital, using a home care team. It may help you recover in your own home if your condition fits their plan and you have support at home.
