Study of confusion after belly surgery in people with liver cirrhosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people with liver cirrhosis develop confusion after upper abdominal surgery. It uses advanced biological tests (called multi-omics) to find clues that might help prevent this confusion in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You may or may not have liver cirrhosis (liver scarring).
- You must be scheduled for upper abdominal surgery (such as liver or gallbladder surgery).

This study looks at how two measures—liver function (ALBI score) and muscle loss (sarcopenia)—help predict outcomes in people with cirrhosis who have episodes of confusion or drowsiness (hepatic encephalopathy). If you qualify, researchers will track your health to see how these factors affect recovery and complications.
This study is creating a new test to measure thinking and memory problems in people with liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors find these problems earlier.
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 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 how inflammation after surgery on the upper belly area affects thinking and memory in people with liver disease. It aims to understand why some patients have confusion or memory issues after surgery.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change in people with liver cirrhosis and whether these changes relate to how the disease progresses. It may help find new ways to monitor or treat cirrhosis.
