Filter by:The goal of this study is to improve symptoms and quality of life for end-stage liver disease patients awaiting a liver transplant and their caregivers by providing them with the resources and tools to self-manage their complex concerns.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Branched chain Amino Acids enhances the uptake of ammonia in muscle tissue.
The purpose of the study is to test whether the presence of polymorphisms in genes encoding substances of the innate immune response in patients undergoing partial hepatic resection because of benign or malignant hepatobiliary disease is related to a higher incidence of infectious complications, post-resectional liver failure or mortality.
Estimation of functional liver reserve in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis is of paramount importance to properly select candidates for surgical resection. Together with the value of bilirubin, the presence/absence of ascites and esophageal varices, and the rate of residual liver volume, which are our current parameters to measure functional liver reserve, the investigators sought to investigate the value of preoperative cholinesterases (CHE) in predict postoperative adverse outcome after hepatic resection for HCC.
The ORANGE II trial is a double blinded randomised controlled trial that will provide evidence on the merits of laparoscopic surgery in patients undergoing a left lateral hepatic sectionectomy in terms of time to functional recovery, hospital length of stay, quality of life, readmission percentage, morbidity and mortality, hospital costs, body image and cosmesis, and long term incidence of incisional hernias.
This is an open label, multi-centre, dose ranging study to assess efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of eltrombopag in thrombocytopenic subjects with chronic liver disease.
A study to compare a 48-hour continuous infusion of conivaptan in subjects with mild and moderate liver impairment versus subjects with normal liver function
Rejection and infection are primary causes of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. Current clinical practice relies on immunosuppressive drug levels measured in plasma to reflect the peripheral immune response in solid organ transplant recipients. Direct measurement of the number and functions of the immune cells themselves using multi-parameter flow cytometry may enable individualized immunosuppression management for organ transplant recipients. Multi-parameter flow cytometry will be used to compare levels and functional capabilities of multiple lymphocyte subsets between cohorts of patients receiving depletion induction and those receiving a non-depletion regimen. The activation state, cytotoxic potential and the functional capabilities of these cells will be examined within patients over the first six months post transplant.
This study is to find out how the subject's body processes and reacts to the study drug, and to find out how long it remains in the subjects system after one dose. Subjects with varying degrees of liver function are being asked to participate in this study. Study results from subjects with normal liver function will be compared with study results from subjects with impaired liver function.
Compare VBL and cyanoacrylate injection (CI) in the treatment of EV in patients with advanced liver disease regarding eradication, bleeding, mortality, complication and recurrence rates.
