Liver transplant survival: does Donor-Recipient gender matter?
NCT ID NCT07250919
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at over 1,100 liver transplant patients to see if having a donor of a different gender affects long-term survival. Researchers followed patients for up to 10 years after transplant. The goal is to understand whether gender mismatch is a risk factor, which could help improve donor-recipient matching in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If clear patterns emerge, this could help doctors better match donors and recipients to improve survival after liver transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a trial testing a new treatment. It can show links but cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all transplant centers.
