NCT ID NCT07455175
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how changes in gut bacteria, driven by a substance called lactate, might be linked to the worsening of liver cirrhosis. Researchers will follow 200 people, including healthy volunteers and cirrhosis patients, to measure lactate levels in blood, stool, and tissue. The goal is to better understand the disease and find new ways to track its progression.
