Study seeks best fluid strategy for liver patients with sepsis
NCT ID NCT05059795
First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compared different methods to estimate how much fluid is needed in patients with liver cirrhosis or acute-on-chronic liver failure who also have sepsis and low blood pressure. Researchers enrolled 350 adults and looked at whether using ultrasound-guided fluid assessment or standard goal-directed therapy leads to better outcomes, like reaching a target blood pressure. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to guide fluid treatment in this complex group of patients.
