Liver transplant survival: does Donor-Recipient gender matter?

NCT ID NCT07250919

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at over 1,100 liver transplant patients to see if having a donor of a different gender affects long-term survival. Researchers followed patients for up to 10 years after transplant. The goal is to understand whether gender mismatch is a risk factor, which could help improve donor-recipient matching in the future.

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 clear patterns emerge, this could help doctors better match donors and recipients to improve survival after liver transplant.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a trial testing a new treatment. It can show links but cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all transplant centers.
