NCT ID NCT04216784
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study looked at whether adding albumin to a standard water pill (furosemide) helps people with liver cirrhosis get rid of extra fluid better than the water pill alone. The trial planned to enroll 21 adults with cirrhosis and fluid buildup, but was stopped early because the cost of albumin wasn't covered. No results were collected from enrolled patients.
