Portal hypertension biobank study

This study looks at how well treatments work for people with enlarged veins in the esophagus and stomach caused by a condition called portal hypertension. If you have this condition and have had a CT scan and an upper endoscopy (camera down the throat), you may be able to take part to help doctors understand which treatments work best.

This trial studies better ways to use endoscopy and other treatments to stop bleeding in the stomach or esophagus caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). It may help if you have been diagnosed with portal hypertension and have varices (enlarged veins) in your esophagus or stomach.

This study tests a new endoscopic strategy to treat enlarged veins in the stomach caused by liver cirrhosis and high blood pressure in the portal vein. It may help patients who have not received prior treatment for this condition avoid bleeding.

This study looks at how to best use endoscopy and other procedures to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach caused by liver disease. It aims to find the safest and most effective treatment approach for people with this condition.

This trial looks at people with clinically significant portal hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the liver's blood vessels. It may help find better ways to manage this condition.

This study tests if non-invasive methods like blood tests and spleen size can predict esophageal varices in children with portal hypertension, potentially reducing the need for endoscopy.
