Scientists scan livers to see how they handle a fluid rush

NCT ID NCT03589261

Summary

This study aimed to understand how a rapid infusion of IV fluids changes blood flow in the liver. Researchers used MRI scans to measure blood flow in the livers of 22 healthy volunteers before and after receiving a standard saline IV drip. The goal was to gather basic knowledge about how the liver regulates its blood supply, which could inform future care for critically ill patients.
