NCT ID NCT07116096
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at whether handgrip strength—a simple measure of muscle function—is linked to blood flow changes in the liver's main vein (portal vein) in people with liver cirrhosis. Researchers will measure pressure, speed, and direction of blood flow using different methods (like ultrasound or endoscopy) while participants squeeze a device. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to assess the risk of dangerous varices (enlarged veins) that can bleed. About 120 adults with cirrhosis will take part.
