TIPS Procedure

for Liver Cirrhosis and Muscle Loss

The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess the impact of TIPS creation on muscle mass and physical function in patients with cirrhosis, and to determine whether these changes correlate with improved outcomes in patients awaiting liver transplantation. Retrospective observational studies have shown improvement in muscle mass and body composition in cirrhotic patients undergoing TIPS. The investigators aim to now prospectively study this through a pilot randomized controlled trial tracking patients managed with TIPS creation compared to those managed without TIPS to determine whether these observational findings can be seen in a randomized cohort. The investigators hypothesize that TIPS creation will lead to improved muscle mass, body composition and muscle function within the first 12 months after the procedure compared to a control group without TIPS, and that these changes will improve liver disease outcomes in patients awaiting liver transplantation.
