ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how thyroid dysfunction, or problems with thyroid hormones, affects patients with liver failure. The liver is crucial for converting one type of thyroid hormone (T4) into another (T3), and issues with the liver can change how these hormones work in the body. Researchers want to understand how these changes impact the health and recovery of patients with conditions like hepatic encephalopathy (a brain condition caused by liver failure) and hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels).

To participate in this trial, you need to be a patient with liver failure, but not someone with overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). The trial is currently looking for participants aged 65 years and older. If you join, you can expect to undergo assessments related to your liver and thyroid health. This research could help improve understanding of how thyroid issues influence liver failure and potentially lead to better treatment options in the future.
