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.
