Nutrition Support for Young Children With Liver Disease and Malnutrition
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how special nutrition therapy helps young children with chronic liver disease and severe malnutrition. Researchers will measure specific blood markers to see if the treatment improves your child's nutrition and liver function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
