NCT04785534

Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies the use of surveys, blood testing, and fibroscan in screening for liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis in new or existing patients of the HOPE clinic seeking usual clinical care. Fibroscan is an imaging procedure of the liver which uses a probe like an ultrasound. Information gathered from this study may help researchers learn more about how to prevent or find liver cancer in patients who are currently receiving care at the HOPE clinic. Early detection of liver cancer may improve survival.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Positive hepatitis B surface antigen test result

    The presence of at least one risk factor for hepatitis B virus (HBV) on the screening questionnaire will indicate a positive (versus negative) screening for HBV infection.

    At baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Positive anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) test result

    At baseline

  • Fibroscan result >= F2

    Up to 3 months

Study Arms (1)

Screening (survey, biomarker analysis, fibroscan)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients complete surveys over 10-15 minutes, and undergo blood testing, clinical evaluation, and fibroscan at baseline.
