Summary
This study from Mayo Clinic aims to understand the individual and social reasons why some patients with end-stage liver disease are not listed for or do not receive a liver transplant. Researchers will track 100 patients to see who gets on the waiting list, who receives a transplant, and how well they do afterward. The goal is to find ways to make the transplant process fairer for everyone.
