Personalized nutrition after tips for liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized nutrition plan for people with liver disease who are about to have a TIPS procedure. It aims to help prevent confusion or other mental changes after the procedure, which can be a side effect.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis, a type of liver disease.
- You are scheduled to undergo a procedure called TIPS (a treatment that helps relieve fluid buildup in the belly).
- You are at least moderately malnourished (lacking proper nutrition).
- You have not had repeated or ongoing confusion caused by your liver recently.
- You are not currently on lactulose or rifaximin (medicines for liver-related confusion).
- Your liver function is not too severely impaired, and you do not have severe heart, kidney, or other complicating conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a procedure called TIPS (a stent placed in the liver to improve blood flow) can help people with advanced liver disease regain better liver function. It is for patients who have had complications like severe bleeding from the stomach or difficult-to-control fluid buildup (ascites).
This study tests a new way to guide a procedure called TIPS, which helps relieve pressure in the liver caused by fluid buildup or bleeding. The new guidance method may make the procedure safer or more precise.
This trial tests whether adding branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) to the standard TIPS procedure helps people with cirrhosis and muscle wasting. It aims to see if BCAA can improve outcomes after TIPS.
This study looks at how a treatment called TIPS (a procedure to reduce pressure in the liver) might help improve muscle wasting (sarcopenia) in people with liver cirrhosis. If you are scheduled for TIPS, researchers want to see if it can stop or reverse muscle loss.
This study uses an advanced MRI technique (called 4D-flow) to look at blood flow in the liver before and after a TIPS procedure (a small tube that helps lower blood pressure in the liver). The goal is to better understand how TIPS affects blood flow and outcomes, which may help improve care for people with cirrhosis.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (called a TIPS) early in the liver can help people with cirrhosis who have their first episode of moderate to severe belly fluid buildup. The goal is to see if this early procedure improves outcomes compared to standard care.
