Liver transplant Patients' bone loss under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07480057
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tracks 100 adults with chronic liver disease who are receiving a liver transplant. Researchers will measure their bone mineral density before surgery and again at 3 and 6 months after, using a special X-ray scan called DEXA. The goal is to understand how bone health changes after transplant and what factors—like age, sex, or length of hospital stay—might increase the risk of bone loss and fractures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors identify which liver transplant patients are at highest risk for bone loss and fractures, leading to better monitoring and preventive care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all transplant patients, and the 6-month follow-up may be too short to capture long-term bone changes.
