Could a simple scan replace the needle for liver donor checks?
NCT ID NCT07451379
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check how well a non-invasive scan (FibroScan with CAP) measures liver fat compared to the standard liver biopsy in 100 living liver donors. The goal is to see if the scan can accurately assess donor liver health without the risks of a biopsy. Participants must be over 18 and eligible for liver donation.

Who is studied
* After obtaining the appropriate consents, data pertaining to clinical history (name, age, sex, residence, occupation, co-morbidities… diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, special habits; such as alcohol intake). * blood samples will be collected for CBC. ( Hb level , WBCs, Platelets), liver function tests (albumin, alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\], aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\], gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, total bilirubin), lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL), CRP, serum uric acid, HbA1c, and Kidney function test(serum urea and creatinine). * Six measurements will be obtained (sex, age, height, weight, body mass index, and waist circumference). Overweight is defined as BMI ≥25 kg/m² and obesity is defined as: BMI ≥30 kg/m². * Imaging for evaluation of donors with BMI ≥25 kg/m² such as abdominal US and FibroScan with CAP. * Donors with BMI ≥25 kg/m² will receive life style modification and medical treatment for improvement of steatosis
