Albumin-Bilirubin Score to Predict Variceal Bleeding Outcome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple blood test score called the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) index to see how well it predicts recovery in people with bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus (varices). It may help doctors better understand your risk and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You do not have liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).
- You do not have any blood-related diseases (like leukemia or clotting disorders).

This trial uses a new scoring system called HALP to predict death and re-bleeding in people who come to the emergency room with upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. It may help doctors better understand your risk.
This trial tests if giving albumin, a protein in the blood, can improve outcomes for patients with cirrhosis who have a specific type of bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach.
This study tests whether ultrasound imaging can predict which patients with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) are at higher risk of dangerous bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus. If successful, this could help doctors decide which patients need preventive treatment.
This study checks whether a score called CAGIB can accurately predict the risk of dying during the hospital stay for people with cirrhosis who have sudden bleeding in the digestive tract. It may help doctors identify who needs the most urgent care and monitor outcomes more accurately.
This study tests whether using a special blood pressure measurement in the liver (called HVPG) can help doctors choose the best endoscopic treatment for people with cirrhosis who have had variceal bleeding. If you've had bleeding from varices, this study aims to make your follow-up care more personalized and effective.
This study checks whether a special ultrasound-guided measurement of blood pressure in your liver can help predict how well endoscopic treatment (banding varices or injecting bleeding sites) will work. It aims to improve outcomes by identifying who is more likely to respond.
