Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Change in gut microbiome is closely associated with liver cirrhosis diseases initiation, progression, establishment, and severity. Nevertheless, compositional alterations in gut microbiome during cirrhosis development still not been evaluated, comprehensively. Here, investigators compared the gut microbial composition in cirrhosis patients to encompassing the gut microbial role in whole spectrum of disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Stool samples were collected prospectively from 240 participants (Healthy Control (HC=52) + Alcoholic Control (HC=46) + cirrhosis patients (n=142)). 16S rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) gene sequencing were performed using the MiSeq sequencer on the illumine platform and based on the phylogenetic relationship,16S-based Microbiome Taxonomic Profiling was performed to discovery gut microbial compositional shift along with cirrhosis severity progression.
