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 non-invasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery) to see whether they can diagnose and predict how chronic liver disease will worsen over time. If you may have chronic liver disease, these tests could help doctors follow your condition more accurately.
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 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.
This study looks at patients with cirrhosis who are admitted to the intensive care unit with acute-on-chronic liver failure. It aims to understand and improve care for this serious condition using a standard scoring system.
