Predicting liver disease worsening without invasive tests
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have chronic liver disease (any cause).
- Your liver stiffness measurement is above 10 kPa, or you have been diagnosed with cirrhosis by imaging or biopsy.
- You have not had a liver transplant or a TIPS procedure.
- You have no past or current liver cancer or other cancers.
- You do not have a blood clot in the portal vein.
- You still have your spleen (no splenectomy or splenic embolization).
- You are not currently in a decompensated stage (no variceal bleeding, moderate to severe ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy).

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 uses non-invasive tests, like scans or blood tests, to predict how well people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC) will do after curative treatment. It may help doctors better understand your condition without needing invasive procedures.
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 is exploring a new way to predict how liver cirrhosis will progress. It may help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
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.
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.
