LIVER TRANSPLANTATION

This study tests whether a digital rehabilitation platform helps people recover after a living donor liver transplant. 36 adults will be split into two groups: one gets the digital program plus standard education, the other gets standard education only. Researchers will measure p…

This study looks at a new way to do liver transplants for people with severe portal hypertension, a condition where high blood pressure in the liver causes serious problems. Instead of using a full-sized liver, doctors will use a smaller piece (small-for-size graft) placed alongs…

This study gives continued access to a device that preserves donated livers before transplant. It includes 120 adults on the transplant waiting list. The goal is to collect safety data and check for early signs of liver problems after surgery.

This study tests whether giving methadone and ketamine during a deceased donor liver transplant can lower pain and confusion after surgery. About 50 adults will receive either the drug combo or standard care. Researchers will track pain scores, opioid use, and recovery time.

This pilot study compares two approaches to giving fluids during liver transplant surgery: a restrictive strategy that removes some blood early and returns it later, versus a liberal strategy that keeps blood flow high. The goal is to see if a larger study is possible by checking…

This study is testing a new blood test called LiverCare to see if it can better monitor liver transplant recipients for complications like rejection. Researchers will follow 1,500 patients for up to a year, comparing the new test with standard monitoring. The goal is to improve e…

This study compares two non-invasive methods—carotid Doppler ultrasound and cerebral oximetry—to monitor brain blood flow during liver transplant surgery in 43 adults with end-stage liver disease. The goal is to see if the simpler, lower-cost ultrasound method works as well as th…

This study looks at how things like money, education, and social support affect children's recovery after a liver transplant. Researchers will survey 500 families and interview some in depth. The goal is to find ways to help all children have the best possible outcome, no matter …

This study follows 600 adult liver transplant recipients in Denmark for up to 10 years to understand why many develop heart, lung, kidney, or metabolic problems after transplant. Researchers will use scans, blood tests, and lung function tests to find risk factors. The goal is to…
