Liver problems in children with heart defects
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how common liver problems are in children with congenital heart disease. It is an observational study, meaning no treatments are given; the goal is simply to understand liver health in this group better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between birth and 16 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed congenital heart defect (a heart problem present from birth).
- Your child must not have a primary liver disease (a liver condition as the main diagnosis).
- Your child must not have had heart surgery within the last 3 months.
- Your child must not have an active infection or sepsis (a serious bloodstream infection) at the time of the study.

This study looks at babies under 2 who have cholestasis, a liver condition, to check for heart problems that are present at birth and to see how they are developing. The goal is to better understand these issues and help families.
This study uses ultrasound imaging of the heart to check how well the heart valves are working in children who were born with heart defects. It aims to understand valve problems better, which may help guide treatment.
This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study looks at how chronic liver disease affects the heart in children. It aims to understand and detect heart problems that may arise from liver disease, which could help improve care.
This study tests if a simple bedside heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) and blood tests can spot early heart problems in people with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) who are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and manage heart complications in cirrhosis.
This study looks back at liver biopsy results from children under 18 to understand what types of liver diseases are common and how biopsies help diagnose them. It may help improve care for children with liver problems.
