Test how reliable a liver scan is in chronic hepatitis
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study checks whether a “liver stiffness” scan (called transient elastography) gives consistent, dependable results in adults with long-term viral hepatitis. It may help improve how doctors monitor liver changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are an adult

This study checks people who are at higher risk for liver scarring by using noninvasive tests. If those tests suggest significant scarring, the study may consider further testing, but not everyone will need a biopsy.
This study compares two non-invasive ultrasound methods (EUS-SWQ and FibroScan) with liver biopsy to see how well they detect liver scarring in patients with chronic liver disease. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and monitor liver damage from conditions like hepatitis B and fatty liver disease.
This study compares two types of liver scanners that measure liver stiffness (a sign of scarring) to see if a new handheld device works as well as the standard one. If the devices are similar, it may allow easier and more affordable liver monitoring for people with chronic liver disease.
This trial looks for better ways to detect liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with long-term liver disease. It may help find problems earlier.
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery, like scans and blood-based measurements) can diagnose chronic liver disease in people with certain liver conditions. It may help doctors choose better, less invasive ways to identify the type and stage of liver problems.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure how stiff your liver is, which can help doctors understand liver failure better. If you have serious liver problems, this test might help guide your care.
