Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of plasma alpha-GST measurements in liver donor (at the time of organ removal) to predict primary dysfunction in liver recipient. The secondary objective was to study the relationship between alpha-GST levels in the plasma of the liver transplant recipient and early graft function recovery.


Clinical Trial Description

Graft primary dysfunction (PDF) after liver transplantation is enhanced by the increasing use of extended-criteria allografts. This complication is burdened with high mortality and morbidity rates among liver transplant recipients. Alpha-GST is a short-life hepatocyte enzyme that may be an interesting biomarker for liver injury. A recently developped ELISA technique may allow fast and easy measurement of alpha-GST plasma concentration (Fastpack IP α-GST Immunoassay, Qualigen Inc., Carlsbad, CA). This study aims to evaluate the ability of plasma alpha-GST measurements in liver donor to predict PDF in liver recipient. Methods: Observational study conducted in one center (Beaujon hospital, APHP, Clichy, France). Measurements of plasma levels of alpha-GST using Fastpack IP α-GST Immunoassay (Qualigen Inc., Carlsbad, CA) at the time of organ removal in liver donor and daily from day 0 to day 7 after liver transplantation in recipients. ;
