NCT ID NCT03225677
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looks at how quickly muscle proteins are made and broken down in people with cirrhosis (liver scarring). Researchers will use special tracers and a single muscle biopsy to measure these processes. The goal is to better understand muscle loss in cirrhosis, not to test a new treatment. About 20 participants with cirrhosis and healthy controls will take part.
