Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Cirrhotic portal hypertension

You may qualify if:

  • age 18-75 years;
  • confirmed cirrhosis based on histologic examination of liver or combined physical, laboratory, and radiologic findings, including a nodular surface, a coarse texture, and an enlarged caudate lobe of the liver.

You may not qualify if:

  • prior drug therapy (e.g. β-blocker, vasopressin) within two weeks
  • prior surgeries (e.g. TIPS, partial splenic embolization/ devascularization, splenectomy, liver transplantation)
  • non-sinusoidal portal hypertension \& HCC inability to adhere to study procedures
  • pregnancy or unknown pregnancy status
  • no informed consent
