Perioperative inflammation and brain function in liver patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how inflammation during and after surgery might affect thinking and memory in patients with liver cirrhosis. It tests if certain immune responses are linked to brain changes after surgery.

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 how well simple brain tests can detect early (minimal) thinking changes related to liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors spot these changes sooner and diagnose the condition more accurately.
This study looks at how people with hepatic encephalopathy (a condition that causes confusion due to liver problems) engage with their care. It is for adults who have not yet been treated for the condition.
This trial looks at how liver cirrhosis affects brain function by studying proteins and gut bacteria. It includes people with and without early signs of brain issues (hepatic encephalopathy). The goal is to better understand these changes and find new ways to help.
This study looks at why some people with liver cirrhosis become confused after upper abdominal surgery. Researchers will use advanced lab tests to find clues, which could help prevent this confusion in the future.
This study looks at whether brain inflammation during heart surgery may affect memory and thinking. It includes people aged 60 and older who are having planned heart surgery.
