Dhiraj Tripathi

Dhiraj Tripathi is an Honorary Professor whose research focuses on liver cirrhosis and its complications, particularly portal hypertension and variceal bleeding. He has established himself as a leading researcher in evidence-based management of cirrhotic patients with publications in top gastroenterology journals including Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics and Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology.

His research centers on:

• Developing novel approaches for prevention of variceal bleeding
• Creating risk assessment tools for cirrhotic patients undergoing non-hepatic procedures
• Investigating strategies to prevent progression from compensated to decompensated cirrhosis
• Establishing evidence-based guidelines for portal hypertension management

Dr. Tripathi's recent work demonstrates leadership in large-scale clinical trials including the CALIBRE Trial comparing carvedilol versus variceal band ligation, and the REACT-AVB trial investigating early TIPS placement in acute variceal hemorrhage. His publications show consistent international collaboration across multiple institutions.

He has made significant contributions to clinical guidance, particularly the risk assessment document for cirrhotic patients prior to elective non-hepatic surgery, which provides standardized evaluation protocols for this high-risk population.
