Hopkins tests early liver transplants for severe Alcohol-Related liver failure
NCT ID NCT04234139
Summary
This study aims to understand if performing liver transplants earlier for patients with sudden, severe liver failure from heavy alcohol use is safe and effective. Researchers will track 300 patients to see how well they survive and if they return to drinking after transplant. The study also seeks public and medical opinions on the ethics of offering transplants to people who haven't been sober for the traditional six-month waiting period.
