Testing a new way to find infections in liver disease patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a DNA test to better detect infections in people with advanced liver disease who are hospitalized. It may help doctors find the right treatment faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver)
- You currently have a sudden worsening like fluid in the belly, vomiting blood, or confusion from liver problems
- You do not have cancer of the liver or other organs
- You are not taking immune-suppressing medicine for other illnesses
- You do not have HIV

This study tests a digital (computer/phone-based) system to help track people with higher risk of liver cancer so cancers can be found earlier. It may help by guiding regular check-ins and making early diagnosis more efficient.
This study looks at new, non-invasive methods to predict when chronic liver disease might get worse. It could help you and your doctor catch problems early without needing a biopsy or other invasive procedures.
This study uses advanced techniques to analyze liver tissue samples from people with various liver conditions. It aims to better understand how liver diseases develop and progress, which may help improve future treatments.
This study is looking for a better way to diagnose and track chronic liver disease without invasive procedures like biopsies. If you join, researchers will use simple tests (like blood tests or imaging) to see how well they predict the progression of your liver condition.
This study follows people with cirrhosis to see how best to detect liver cancer early. If you qualify, you may receive regular monitoring that could help find liver cancer sooner, when treatment is more likely to work.
This study looks for substances in your blood and immune system that could help doctors find liver cancer earlier. It is for people with liver cancer caused by chronic liver problems like hepatitis C, cirrhosis, or scarring.
