ALCOHOLIC LIVER DISEASE

This study looks at whether a supplement called HMB (a natural substance made from the amino acid leucine) can help reverse muscle loss in people who have both alcoholic liver disease and COVID-19 pneumonia. The researchers will track changes in muscle mass and hospital visits ov…

This study looks at 1,200 adults referred for liver checks to see if combining blood markers, genetic data, and gut bacteria analysis can detect liver scarring earlier than current methods. The goal is to identify advanced liver disease in the community and reduce unnecessary spe…

This study looks at how alcohol causes muscle breakdown in people with alcoholic liver disease. Researchers will take a one-time muscle biopsy to measure specific protein damage. The goal is to understand the process, not to test a treatment. About 40 adults aged 18 to 65 with al…

This study observes heavy drinkers with jaundice to learn how common alcoholic hepatitis is and how it progresses. Researchers will collect genetic samples and track survival and liver function over 12 months. The goal is to better understand the disease and improve diagnosis wit…

This study looks at bacteria found in the liver, blood, and stool of 50 people with severe alcoholic hepatitis. Researchers want to see if these bacteria are linked to how well patients respond to treatment and their overall survival. The goal is to find new ways to treat this se…

This study follows 7,500 heavy drinkers over time to learn how alcoholic liver disease develops and worsens. Researchers will use non-invasive tests like ultrasound and blood markers to identify who is at risk for cirrhosis and liver cancer. The goal is to improve screening and e…
