Predicting Liver Failure in People with Cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study follows people with liver cirrhosis—a condition where the liver is scarred—to see who gets worse or develops sudden liver failure. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can help prevent serious problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a doctor's diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, which is scarring of the liver.
- You need to be at least 18 years old (if under 21, a parent or guardian must agree with you).
- You must be willing to understand and sign a consent form to take part in the study.

This study looks at new, non-invasive methods to predict when chronic liver disease might get worse. It could help you and your doctor catch problems early without needing a biopsy or other invasive procedures.
This study is exploring a new way to predict how liver cirrhosis will progress. It may help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
This study looks at people with liver cirrhosis who develop a sudden, severe worsening of their liver function (called acute-on-chronic liver failure). It aims to better understand this condition and how it affects patients in the intensive care unit, which could help improve care.
This study looks at how to predict future outcomes in adults who have fatty-liver disease (NAFLD) that has progressed to cirrhosis. It may help doctors better estimate risk and plan care, using information from liver tests and scans.
This study looks at new scoring systems to predict how patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (a sudden worsening of long-term liver disease) will do. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
This study looks at your liver health before and after surgery to predict the risk of “acute-on-chronic liver failure,” which means a sudden worsening of liver function on top of an existing liver condition. If you qualify, your doctors may use study data to better identify who needs closer monitoring after surgery.
