Hi there as anyone been ask about a trail your liver cirrhosis .

[AyrshireK]

There are always numerous medical trials going on. You would want hull details of any trial you were joining before going ahead. They don't progress medical science without willing patients taking part in trials but you need to know the ins and outs and pros and cons re. your own health situation

I am currently on the PEARL research study. Have to attend the Heptology clinic once a year.

What is the pearl research study

[AyrshireK in reply to Petrina_gmfc]

The Pearl study aims to recruit 3000 people with liver cirrhosis caused by one of the underlying conditions of HCV, HBV, alcohol-related, NAFLD and haemochromatosis, who have never been diagnosed with HCC. Participants will be recruited from 24 NHS sites in England and will be asked to attend at least 5 study visits.

If you search it online you can get the full details. Probably not allowed to post the link to it here.
