ALCOHOLIC LIVER DISEASE

This study looks at whether a supplement called HMB (a leucine metabolite) can help reverse muscle loss and improve recovery in people with alcoholic liver disease who also have COVID-19 pneumonia. About 48 participants will take the supplement and be monitored for changes in mus…

This study looks at 1,200 adults referred for liver checks to see if combining blood markers, genetic data, and gut bacteria analysis can detect liver scarring earlier than current methods. The goal is to identify advanced liver disease in the community and reduce unnecessary spe…

This study is observing heavy drinkers with jaundice to learn more about alcoholic hepatitis, a serious liver condition. Researchers will track survival and liver function over 12 months, and collect genetic samples to better understand the disease. The goal is to improve diagnos…

This study looks at how alcohol causes muscle breakdown in people with alcoholic liver disease. Researchers will take a small muscle sample from the thigh to measure specific proteins linked to alcohol damage. The goal is to better understand the process, not to test a treatment.…

This study looks at medical records from 15,000 people to explore how chronic liver diseases (like hepatitis, fatty liver, and cirrhosis) are linked to other diseases. Researchers will track new cases of liver cancer and complications over time. The goal is to better understand d…

This study looks at bacteria found in the liver, blood, and stool of 50 people with severe alcoholic hepatitis. Researchers want to see if these bacteria are linked to how well patients respond to treatment and their overall survival. The goal is to find new ways to treat this se…

This study follows 7,500 heavy drinkers over time to learn how alcoholic liver disease develops and worsens. Researchers will use non-invasive tests like ultrasound and blood markers to identify who is at risk for cirrhosis and liver cancer. The goal is to improve screening and e…
