Identification of Fatty Liver With Advanced Fibrosis in Type 2 Diabetes Using Simple Fibrosis Scores and Electronic Reminder Messages

With this background, we aim to test the hypothesis that the use of simple fibrosis scores as part of a diabetes complications screening program followed by electronic reminder messages is more effective than usual care in prompting physicians to correctly identify patients with suspected NAFLD and advanced liver fibrosis for …

Combining Biomarkers (AFP AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II) and Image Tools for Early Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

In this study, three biomarkers tests (AFP, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II) and abdominal sonography or CT scans are performed every 6 months to detect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) early in patients with cirrhosis, a high-risk group of HCC. The aim of this study is to confirm the early HCC diagnosis rate in …

Gadolinium Contrast-enhanced Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) vs. Standard Ultrasound for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Surveillance in Patients With Cirrhosis

This study compares gadolinium contrast-enhanced Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) to standard ultrasound for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) screening and surveillance in subjects with liver cirrhosis.

The Effect of Hepatic Impairment on Aprocitentan Pharmacokinetics

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-dose, Phase 1 study, to assess the effect of moderate hepatic impairment due to liver cirrhosis on the pharmacokinetics of aprocitentan (ACT-132577).

Safety and Efficacy of Ketogenic Diet for Promoting Weight Loss in Obese Individuals With Compensated NASH Cirrhosis

This is an open-label, randomized study comparing a monitored ketogenic diet intervention using standard ketogenic diet (SKD) and standard of care (SOC) dietary recommendations for 16 weeks. Subjects enrolled in the standard of care group will receive a voucher to Weight Watchers after study completion.

Extension Study of Carvedilol RCT Study

Patients who have completed 2-years treatment in RCT Study of carvedilol will receive another 2-years extension therapy, aiming to investigate the long-term efficacy of carvedilol for the prevention of esophageal varices in treated HBV cirrhotic patients.

Comparison of Diuretic Effect With Furosemide Alone Versus the Combination of Furosemide and Albumin in Cirrhotic Patients

A common complication of the progression of cirrhosis is fluid retention (ascites, edema, or pleural effusion). Loop diuretics are the treatment of choice for fluid retention in cirrhotic patients; however, many of these patients demonstrate diuretic resistance, requiring higher doses of the diuretics to achieve adequate diuresis.
