Predicting liver problems in advanced chronic liver disease
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have advanced chronic liver disease, as defined by the BAVENO criteria.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You cannot have any current cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer).
- You cannot have serious diseases affecting your heart, lungs, kidneys, or brain.
- You cannot have HIV, a past organ transplant, or be unable to give consent.

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.
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 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 trial is testing a routine screening program for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in people who are at higher risk of developing it. The goal is to catch cancer early, when treatment works best.
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 study looks at your liver health before and after surgery to predict the risk of “acute-on-chronic liver failure,” which means a sudden worsening of liver function on top of an existing liver condition. If you qualify, your doctors may use study data to better identify who needs closer monitoring after surgery.
