Fiber-rich diet for liver cirrhosis patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating more dietary fiber can improve outcomes for people with liver cirrhosis and high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). If you have cirrhosis, adding fiber to your diet might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver).
- You cannot have a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (a tube placed in the liver to lower blood pressure).
- You cannot have a weakened immune system (significant immunosuppression).
- You cannot have a current malignant tumor (cancer).

This study looks at nutrition (diet and eating habits) in people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to understand how nutrition affects health in cirrhosis, which may help improve care and quality of life.
This trial tests whether a special nutrition plan can help treat muscle loss in people with liver cirrhosis who also have fluid buildup that doesn't improve with standard treatment. It aims to improve strength and outcomes after a procedure to place a shunt in the liver.
This trial tests whether the blood thinner apixaban can help prevent early-stage cirrhosis from worsening. You may be eligible if you have compensated (stable) cirrhosis due to alcohol and have signs of portal hypertension.
This trial tests if phycocyanin (a natural blue pigment from spirulina) can help protect the liver and slow damage from fibrosis or cirrhosis. It may be an option if you have stable liver disease and are looking for supportive therapy.
This study looks at the bacteria in the gut of people with liver cirrhosis to better understand how they relate to the disease. By joining, you help researchers learn more about cirrhosis, which may lead to better care in the future.
This study looks at how nutrition affects the health of people with liver cirrhosis (scarred liver) and aims to build a tool to predict their outcomes. If you have cirrhosis, joining may help researchers find better ways to support your health.
