Trial summary

Patients with acute decompensation of cirrhosis, or acute on chronic liver failure often present with malnutrition, and due to the in-hospital stay, their nutritional intake can vary widely, with several periods of fasting, and sometimes insufficient nutritional support. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Acute Decompensation on Body Composition Determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis

Patients with acute decompensation of cirrhosis, or acute on chronic liver failure often present with malnutrition, and due to the in-hospital stay, their nutritional intake can vary widely, with several periods of fasting, and sometimes insufficient nutritional support. Therefore patients are prone to develop malnutrition or, the already present malnutrition worsens its status.

Our aim is to evaluate the daily changes in nutritional status in patients with acute decompensation of cirrhosis and evaluate the changes in plasma and serum biomarkers.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nutritional assessmentOther

    Daily nutritional assessment with bioelectrical impedance vector analysis, phase angle and mid-arm muscle circumference

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in nutritional status

    Nutritional status will be measured with bioelectrical impedance analysis (Vector and phase angle)

    Measured: Daily measurement up to 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of inflammatory cytokines

    ELISA's test

    Measured: Samples will be collected at the baseline evaluation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infection, run by Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion Salvador Zubiran at 1 site in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Aldo Torre Delgadillo, M.D. M.Sc (54870900 ext. 2709, detoal@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in nutritional status (time frame: Daily measurement up to 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2019.
