Summary

This study looks at whether measuring spleen stiffness with ultrasound can safely detect and track dangerous liver pressure (portal hypertension) in people with advanced chronic liver disease. About 200 adults will have regular non-invasive scans instead of the usual invasive needle test. The goal is to find clear cutoff values that predict complications, making monitoring easier and safer.
