First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows 90 living liver donors to see how much their liver regrows within a year after donation. Researchers will use CT or MRI scans to measure liver volume and look for factors like age, sex, and weight that might influence regrowth. The goal is to better understand the liver's natural healing process and improve donor care.
