Ultrasound liver stiffness test for liver failure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You must have liver failure, shown by confusion (hepatic encephalopathy), vomiting blood, fluid in the belly (ascites), or liver cancer
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You must be willing to take part in the study

This study uses a special ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, to measure liver stiffness during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedure. It aims to see how well this new method detects liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease, compared to standard tests like FibroScan and liver biopsy.
This trial tests a special ultrasound technique during an endoscopy to see how well it can detect changes in the liver from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help improve non-invasive assessment before or alongside a follow-up liver biopsy.
This study tests a new wearable patch that uses ultrasound to measure liver stiffness without needing a permanent probe. It could be a more comfortable and convenient way to check your liver health, and results will be compared to the standard FibroScan test.
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 tests a new, non-invasive way to measure liver stiffness using a device called FibroScan. It aims to make liver checkups easier and more comfortable for people with liver disease.
This study uses a simple ultrasound-based test (FibroScan) to check liver stiffness and predict whether you have high pressure in the veins around the liver. It aims to see if a new set of criteria can safely tell who needs an endoscopy, helping avoid unnecessary procedures.
