DECISION - How do I know if I have decompensated cirrhosis? Does that mean that I will die?

decision-for-liver.eu/
The objective of the DECISION project is to enhance the understanding of the pathophysiology of decompensation of #cirrhosis leading to acute-on-chronic liver failure (#ACLF) or death. This consortium will take advantage of already existing large and clinically well-characterized cohorts to ultimately develop prognostic and response tests and combinatorial therapies tailored to the needs of individual patients to decrease the risk of short-term death.
This brief interview is the fourth in a series of short videos that were recorded in a "Patients ask, Scientists answer" initiative during and after the International Liver Congress (ILC) 2022 that took place in London, UK. Here, Dennis Cleff from concentris research management (#concentris) takes on a patient's perspective shortly after the end of ILC 2022, and interviews Prof. Dr. Sara Montagnese from the University of Padova (UNIPD) via Zoom about the symptoms of decompensated cirrhosis and what kind of help exists if a cirrhosis patient starts displaying symptoms of acute #decompensation. The project is spearheaded by the European Foundation for the Study of Chronic Liver Failure (EF CLIF, efclif.com).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 847949. This video reflects only the presenter's view and the European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information it contains.
