This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand whether a simple measurement of how strong your grip is can tell us something important about the blood vessels in your liver. This study will test your hand strength and then measure blood flow in your liver's blood vessels using different imaging techniques. The goal is to see if stronger grip strength relates to healthier blood vessel patterns in people with liver cirrhosis.
Doctors know that muscle strength is linked to how well cirrhosis patients do over time, but nobody has studied whether it connects to the dangerous high blood pressure that builds up in liver blood vessels. This research could help doctors use a simple, quick hand strength test to predict who is at risk and needs more aggressive treatment.

You will visit the hospital and be assigned to one of three groups based on what kind of imaging the doctors use to measure your blood vessels. In all groups, you'll squeeze a hand grip device as hard as you can, and then doctors will measure the blood pressure and flow in your liver vessels using either a needle test, ultrasound, or a camera down your throat — before and after your grip test. The whole process should take a few hours.
