New ultrasound technique could replace needle test for liver pressure
NCT ID NCT06797193
First seen Dec 26, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique called SHAPE can detect high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension) without using a needle. Currently, doctors must insert a catheter into a vein to measure this pressure, which is risky and cannot be done often. The SHAPE method uses sound waves and a contrast agent to estimate pressure from outside the body. Researchers will enroll 60 adults who are already scheduled for the standard needle test to see if the ultrasound results match.
