Ultrasound may spot liver danger before stem cell transplant

NCT ID NCT04141735

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether liver ultrasound and elastography (a special type of ultrasound that measures stiffness) can help predict a serious condition called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) before patients receive a stem cell transplant. Researchers followed 114 adult patients at a French hospital to see how often SOS occurred and if imaging could catch it early. The goal is to improve monitoring and possibly prevent severe complications.
