NCT ID NCT07492862

First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study explores whether a special ultrasound technique (dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound) can accurately diagnose a rare liver condition called porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) without needing a liver biopsy. Researchers will compare ultrasound images from 100 adults with PSVD or cirrhosis to see if the technique can tell them apart. If successful, it could offer a safer, cheaper, and faster way to diagnose PSVD.
