NCT ID NCT07419724
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a large collection of medical data and biological samples from 1000 people with portal hypertension, a condition that can cause dangerous bleeding in the esophagus or stomach. The goal is to use advanced technologies like genetics and imaging to better understand the disease and improve how doctors predict and manage complications. Participants must have been diagnosed with portal hypertension and have had a CT scan.
