NCT07029243
Frailty and muscle health are important for patients with chronic liver disease. This study looks at the use of a digital prehabilitation app (HEAL-ME) plus creatine and whey protein combination supplementation on maintaining muscle health in patients with liver disease. The investigators anticipate that this combination of supplementation and nutrition/exercise prehabilitation app will maintain muscle health in patients with liver disease.

Investigating the association between intestinal Ruminococcus gnavus and its derived biogenic amines with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease
NCT07450651
Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-related cirrhosis is a common cause of portal hypertension, which leads to the development of gastroesophageal varices (EGVs). High-risk varices (HRV) are associated with a higher risk of bleeding and require timely interventions. Endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing HRV but is invasive and not suitable for routine screening in large populations. Objective: This study aims to develop a noninvasive model based on hepatic and splenic microcirculatory perfusion parameters derived from intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict and rule out HRV in patients with compensated CHB-related cirrhosis receiving antiviral therapy. Methods: This observational, retrospective study will include patients with compensated CHB-related cirrhosis who have undergone both esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and IVIM MRI. Microcirculatory perfusion parameters will be extracted from IVIM images using a biexponential model, and their ability to predict HRV will be assessed. Outcomes: The study will validate the performance of the Hepato-Splenic Microcirculatory Perfusion Model (HSMP) in ruling out HRV compared to conventional noninvasive tests like APRI, FIB-4, and LSM. The model's diagnostic accuracy will be evaluated with a focus on reducing unnecessary endoscopic procedures. Significance: If successful, this model could reduce the need for invasive endoscopy and improve the management of cirrhosis patients by providing a safer and more accessible screening tool for HRV.
