No-Needle liver check: spleen scan may spot silent danger
NCT ID NCT06181409
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether measuring spleen stiffness with a non-invasive scan can accurately diagnose and monitor portal hypertension in people with advanced chronic liver disease. Researchers will enroll 200 participants and track them over time to see if this simple test can predict serious liver complications. The goal is to find a safer, needle-free alternative to the current invasive pressure measurements.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, needle-free way to diagnose and monitor portal hypertension in liver disease patients.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The results may not apply to all patients, and the new method might not be accurate enough to replace current tests.
