TIPS procedure for kidney failure in people with cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a liver procedure called TIPS can help people with cirrhosis who develop sudden kidney failure (HRS-AKI). It aims to improve kidney function and overall outcomes, but participation depends on several safety checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed cirrhosis based on test results or imaging, such as ultrasound, endoscopy, stiffness scan, or biopsy
- You have fluid buildup in the belly (ascites) caused by high pressure in the portal vein (portal hypertension)
- You are diagnosed with sudden kidney failure related to cirrhosis (HRS-AKI)
- You are between 18 and 80 years old, and you can do basic daily activities as expected for the study
- You can sign consent and agree to follow study visits and tests
- If you can become pregnant, you must have a recent negative pregnancy test and use reliable birth control

This study tests a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (called a TIPS) early in the liver can help people with cirrhosis who have their first episode of moderate to severe belly fluid buildup. The goal is to see if this early procedure improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests a special device that filters parts of the blood to calm inflammation in people with severe acute kidney injury in the ICU. It may help improve recovery and reduce complications by “deactivating” certain immune cells.
This study looks back at medical records of people who had hepatorenal syndrome (a type of kidney failure linked to liver disease) while in the hospital. The goal is to understand what treatments were used and how well patients did, which might help guide future care.
This study tests a new way to monitor kidney oxygen levels during liver surgery to help prevent kidney damage. It may help reduce the risk of acute kidney injury after surgery.
This trial studies whether a procedure called TIPS (a stent placed in the liver to improve blood flow) can help people with advanced liver disease regain better liver function. It is for patients who have had complications like severe bleeding from the stomach or difficult-to-control fluid buildup (ascites).
