Liver fluid and gut changes in hidden liver brain problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how liver disease affects the body's fluids and gut bacteria, especially when a person has a mild form of liver-related confusion called hepatic encephalopathy. It may help doctors find better ways to detect and treat this condition.

This study compares using an electronic version of a short thinking test with a traditional paper test to diagnose hepatic encephalopathy, a brain condition caused by liver disease. It aims to make diagnosis easier and more accurate for patients with cirrhosis.
This study uses a powerful MRI scanner to look at the brain in people with hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that can cause confusion and other brain problems when the liver doesn't work well. The goal is to better understand brain changes, which might lead to better diagnosis and treatment in the future.
This study looks at people with liver cirrhosis to learn more about a condition called hepatic encephalopathy, which can cause confusion and memory problems. It aims to improve how doctors find and treat this condition.
This study compares two ways of testing thinking and memory in people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to see if a tablet-based test is as good as the standard paper version for detecting early signs of confusion (hepatic encephalopathy).
This study tests a new medicine for people with mild or moderate liver problems to see how the liver affects the drug in the body. It also includes people with normal liver function for comparison.
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.
