Heart scan could prevent dangerous fluid treatment in liver patients
NCT ID NCT02097784
Summary
This study tested whether a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) could help doctors better diagnose kidney problems in people with advanced liver disease (cirrhosis). Researchers examined 28 patients with sudden kidney injury to see if the ultrasound could predict who would benefit from standard fluid treatment and who might be harmed by it. The goal was to improve treatment decisions and avoid giving fluids to patients whose hearts couldn't handle the extra volume.
