Summary

This study looks at whether handgrip strength—a simple measure of muscle function—can help predict changes in blood flow through the liver's main vein in people with cirrhosis. Researchers will measure blood pressure and flow in the portal vein and nearby veins before and after a handgrip test, using three different methods. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to assess the risk of complications like variceal bleeding. About 120 adults with cirrhosis will take part.
