First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving a higher dose of albumin (a protein) to people with advanced liver cirrhosis and hard-to-treat fluid buildup (ascites) can reduce the need for frequent fluid drainage procedures. About 100 adults with cirrhosis and refractory ascites will receive either high-dose or standard-dose albumin infusions. The goal is to see if the higher dose lowers complications and improves outcomes.
