This trial tests a practical hospital-based program to improve how care is delivered to adults with cirrhosis. If you’re eligible, you may receive care that follows the trial’s improved approach and helps the team learn what works best.
This trial studies people with recurring fluid buildup in the belly (ascites) and looks at how treatments or supportive care affect quality of life and muscle strength. It may help researchers better understand which approaches improve day-to-day well-being when ascites keeps coming back.
This trial tests an extra support program after you leave the hospital to help people with advanced liver disease avoid complications and stay on track. It may help by providing structured follow-up soon after discharge.
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 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).
This study tests whether recovering from cirrhosis at home, with a nurse visiting daily, works as well as staying in the hospital. You'll be enrolled in the Hospital at Home program and need a caregiver to help for the first two days.
