Life-Saving liver transplants tested for deadly Alcohol-Related liver disease

NCT ID NCT01756794

Summary

This study tested whether carefully selected patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis who don't respond to medical treatment could safely receive early liver transplants. Researchers compared 284 patients to see if those getting early transplants had similar rates of returning to drinking as patients with alcoholic cirrhosis who followed the standard 6-month sobriety rule before transplant. The goal was to validate a faster selection process that could save lives while ensuring patients remain alcohol-free after surgery.
