Summary
This study tested whether giving growth hormone to people with advanced liver cirrhosis could improve their health and survival. 96 adults with decompensated cirrhosis (where the liver is failing) received either growth hormone or a placebo for several months. The goal was to see if the hormone could reduce serious complications like fluid buildup, bleeding, and infections, and improve nutrition and liver function.
