Handgrip strength and blood flow in liver cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study measures how handgrip strength relates to blood flow in the portal vein (the main vein to the liver) in people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to find simple ways to check liver health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.
- You have had an endoscopy to check for enlarged veins in your esophagus or stomach.
- You have not had bleeding from those veins in the last 14 days (if you are in the pressure measurement group).
- You are able to hold a handgrip device and have not had hand or wrist surgery in the last 3 months.

This study tests a new, painless ultrasound method to check for high blood pressure in the liver's main blood vessel. It aims to avoid more invasive tests for people with cirrhosis. It might help doctors tell if you are at risk of bleeding without a catheter procedure.
This early-phase study tests a technique to measure blood pressure changes in people with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). It may help doctors better understand liver circulation problems and guide safer treatment decisions.
This trial compares a newer, less invasive method (using an endoscope) to measure pressure in the liver's blood vessels with the standard technique. It may help people with liver disease or suspected cirrhosis better understand their condition.
This trial is for people with liver problems and high blood pressure in the veins of the liver (called portal hypertension). It will look at how the condition affects patients with and without cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
This study uses a simple ultrasound-based test (FibroScan) to check liver stiffness and predict whether you have high pressure in the veins around the liver. It aims to see if a new set of criteria can safely tell who needs an endoscopy, helping avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study uses a special ultrasound test to see if it can help monitor liver cirrhosis and high blood pressure in the liver without more invasive procedures. Participation may help doctors find better ways to track your condition.
