Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a prospective study designed to examine the role of transient elastography as a predictor of clinical decompensation in patients with early cirrhosis. The study objective is to determine if changes in measurements of liver stiffness with transient elastography can identify patients that will have a more rapid progression of cirrhosis and the development of clinical decompensation. The target population is patients with early stage, well-compensated cirrhosis. Participants of this study will be asked to complete the following procedures: read and sign the informed consent, medical records review (complete medical history, physical examination, laboratory evaluation, endoscopic findings, radiographic findings), undergo transient elastography to measure liver stiffness every three months until the development of clinical decompensation (ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatorenal syndrome, overt hepatic encephalopathy) for up to 2 years.
