NCT ID NCT04807803
First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looked at 82 adults with cirrhosis and portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver) to find out how many have minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) — a mild form of brain fog that can affect thinking. Researchers used simple blood tests and thinking exercises like naming animals and connecting numbers to check for MHE. The goal was to better understand the link between liver blood vessel changes and early brain issues.
