Summary

This study follows 30 people with liver cirrhosis and a history of bleeding from high blood pressure in the liver. They will have surgery to remove the spleen and disconnect certain blood vessels. Researchers will track kidney function for two years to see if the surgery helps or harms the kidneys. The goal is to learn how to better protect kidney health in these patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection (surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that this surgery helps protect or even improve kidney function in people with liver cirrhosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery also carries risks like bleeding or infection.
