LIVER DISEASES

This study compares remote robotic liver surgery to local robotic surgery to see if the remote approach is just as safe and effective. About 148 adults with liver disease will be randomly assigned to one of the two types of surgery. Researchers will track complications, recovery,…

This study tests the safety of using a patient's own stem cells (taken from fat) to prevent bile duct complications after a living donor liver transplant. About 20 adults with end-stage liver disease will receive these cells during surgery. The goal is to see if this approach red…

This study tests new MRI techniques to measure blood flow and tissue details in the liver. Researchers will scan 110 people, including healthy volunteers and those with chronic liver disease or fibrosis, to see if these scans can reliably detect liver damage. The goal is to devel…

This study looks at whether lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of liver cancer in people already at high risk. Researchers will track changes in bile acids, gut bacteria, and liver health in 90 adults aged 50-90. The goal is to see if simple adjustments can make a lasting diff…

This study aims to create an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can combine medical images (like CT and MRI scans) with patient records and lab results to help doctors more accurately diagnose diseases of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The researchers will use data f…

This study looks at how receiving parenteral nutrition (IV feeding) changes the results of a liver stiffness test called FibroScan in people with short bowel syndrome. Researchers will measure liver stiffness before, during, and after the infusion in 20 stable adult patients. The…

This study looks at tiny particles in the blood, called extracellular vesicles, to see if they can predict serious liver problems like liver failure or liver cancer. Researchers will collect blood samples from 845 people, including healthy volunteers, diabetes patients, and those…
