How IV nutrition affects liver stiffness in short bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how IV nutrition support affects liver stiffness in people with short bowel syndrome. It may help doctors understand how to monitor liver health in patients who need long-term IV feeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have short bowel syndrome and can give your own consent
- You receive IV nutrition or fluids (parenteral support) at least 4 days a week, and at least 10 liters each week
- Your health is stable right now (no active infections, severe dehydration, or major electrolyte imbalances)
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have known liver cirrhosis

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to measure liver stiffness using a device called FibroScan. It aims to make liver checkups easier and more comfortable for people with liver disease.
This study tests a new treatment called FT1 for people with short bowel syndrome. It aims to help you absorb more nutrients and fluids from food, potentially reducing the need for IV nutrition.
This trial tests if crofelemer can reduce diarrhea and fluid loss in people with short bowel syndrome who have a stoma (no colon connection) and need intravenous nutrition or fluids. The goal is to see if it improves gut function and quality of life.
This study tests whether RELIZORB helps children with short bowel syndrome (SBS), who rely on IV nutrition (and also tube feeding), absorb fats better. It is an open-label study over 90 days, meaning everyone gets the study treatment and outcomes are compared over time.
This study looks at why some people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) develop malnutrition, especially when blood flow is redirected during certain surgeries. It may help explain what contributes to low body weight and muscle so better treatments can be planned in the future.
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.
