New scans to detect liver disease complications
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses two types of scans (MRI and ultrasound) to check for high pressure in the veins of your liver. It may help doctors find problems earlier without invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have advanced liver disease, based on a prior scan showing stiffness of 10 kPa or more.
- You must be able to understand and agree to the study.
- You cannot have had a TIPS procedure (a shunt placed in the liver).
- You cannot have had a liver transplant.
- You cannot have certain blood vessel problems in the abdomen, such as a clot or previous spleen removal.

This study follows people with advanced chronic liver disease to understand how their condition changes over time. If you have cirrhosis or high liver stiffness, you may be able to join to help researchers track the disease and learn more about it.
This study looks at people with advanced chronic liver disease to find ways to predict when they might get worse or develop liver cancer. Researchers hope to use this information to prevent complications and improve care.
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 looks at people over 18 who have advanced, long-term liver scarring. It uses specialized measurements of liver stiffness and pressure to confirm eligibility and may help doctors better understand this condition.
This study looks at non-invasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery) to see whether they can diagnose and predict how chronic liver disease will worsen over time. If you may have chronic liver disease, these tests could help doctors follow your condition more accurately.
This trial is for people with liver cirrhosis who have high blood pressure in the vein that carries blood to the liver (portal hypertension). It uses a special ultrasound with contrast to learn more about the condition.
