Natural History of Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension

Forrás: ClinicalTrials.gov · Utoljára frissítve: 2026. okt. 29.

Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)

Background: \- Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension (NCPH) is caused by liver diseases that increase pressure in the blood vessels of the liver. It seems to start slowly and not have many warning signs. Many people may not even know that they have a liver disease. There are no specific treatments for NCPH. Objectives: \- To learn more about how NCPH develops over time. Eligibility: \- People age 12 and older who have NCPH or are at risk for getting it. In the past year, they cannot have had other types of liver disease that typically result in cirrhosis, liver cancer, or active substance abuse. Design: * Participants will have 2 screening visits. * Visit 1: to see if they have or may develop NCPH. * Medical history * Physical exam * Urine and stool studies * Abdominal ultrasound * Fibroscan. Sound waves measure liver stiffness. \<TAB\>- Visit 2: * Blood tests * Abdominal MRI * Echocardiogram * Questionnaire * Liver blood vessel pressure (hepatic venous portal gradient (HVPG)) measurement. This is done with a small tube inserted in a neck vein. * They may have a liver biopsy. * All participants will visit the clinic every 6 months for a history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will also repeat some of the screening tests yearly. * Participants with NCPH will also have: * Upper endoscopy test. A tube inserted in the mouth goes through the esophagus and stomach. * At least every 2 years: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy. * At least every 4 years: testing including HVPG measurements and liver biopsy. * Participants without NCPH will also have: * Liver biopsy and HVPG measurements to see if they have NCPH. * Every 2 years: abdominal MRI and stool studies. * The study will last indefinitely.

Ki nem vehet részt

Szó szerint a(z) ClinicalTrials.gov forrásból, témák szerint csoportosítva. Hogy ki vehet részt, azt csak a vizsgálat csapata dönti el.

Korábbi kezelés

Bile duct obstruction as suggested by imaging studies done within the previous six months.
Active substance abuse, such as alcohol, inhaled or injection drugs within the previous one year (assessed during subject interviews by subject self-report).

Más betegség

Evidence of other forms of liver disease that typically result in cirrhosis.
Evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma; either alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels greater than 50 ng/ml (normal \<6.6ng/ml) and/or ultrasound (or other imaging study) demonstrating a mass suggestive of liver cancer.
Any other severe condition, which in the opinion of the investigators would impede the patient s participation or compliance in the study.

Laborértékek

Evidence of active Chronic Hepatitis B infection as defined by the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in serum and elevated HBV DNA (\>10,000 IU/mL).
Hepatitis C as defined by the presence of hepatitis C RNA in serum.
Evidence of other liver disease such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, Wilson s disease, autoimmune hepatitis as defined by either liver histology or laboratory abnormalities.
Hemochromatosis as defined by presence of 3+ or 4+ stainable iron on liver biopsy or homozygosity for C282Y. Patients with iron saturation indices of \>45% and serum ferritin levels of \>300 ng/ml for men and \>250 ng/ml for women will undergo genetic testing for hemochromatosis.

Egyéb

An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
Pregnancy.
The presence of cirrhosis confirmed by liver biopsy.
Evidence of cholangiocarcinoma as suggested by liver histology.
Inability to comply or give written informed consent.
