Effect of laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection on lipid profiles within 1 year postoperatively n cirrhosis patients with portal hypertension bleeding
NCT ID NCT07811700
First seen Sep 10, 2026 ยท Last updated Sep 10, 2026
Summary
Patients with liver cirrhosis frequently exhibit dyslipidemia due to impaired hepatic lipid synthesis, altered bile acid metabolism, and portal hypertension. Laparoscopic Splenectomy and Azygoportal Disconnection (LSD) is commonly used to treat Cirrhosis with Portal Hypertension Bleeding in these patients, but its impact on lipid profiles within 1 year postoperatively remains poorly characterized. This study will follow patients undergoing LSD to measure changes in serum lipid parameters before and after surgery, identify risk factors for lipid profile deterioration or improvement, and determine whether LSD can ameliorate dyslipidemia in the long term, thereby informing metabolic management strategies in cirrhotic patients.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study. Medical records of patients with cirrhosis, splenomegaly and hypersplenism, and portal hypertension bleeding who had undergone Laparoscopic Splenectomy and Azygoportal Disconnection (LSD) were reviewed. Preoperative baseline data and postoperative data at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months were extracted to evaluate dynamic changes in lipid profiles within 1 year postoperatively.
