Belly pressure linked to lung leaks in liver patients
NCT ID NCT04530760
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether high pressure in the belly (intra-abdominal hypertension) causes more fluid to leak into the lungs in people with severe liver disease who are on breathing machines. Researchers will measure fluid markers in the windpipe and track complications like pneumonia and kidney problems. The goal is to better understand this risk to improve care for critically ill liver patients.
