Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the effect of the hemostatic matrix with fibrinogen and thrombin (TachoSil®) on vena cava inferior anastomoses during liver transplantation from a deceased donor. The research comprises two groups: an experimental cohort with patients receiving a hemostatic matrix of fibrinogen and thrombin on the anastomotic line of the inferior vena cava, and a control cohort utilizing hemostasis without matrix sealent. The study involves a total of 170 participants, evenly distributed with 85 patients in each group.
To evaluate Renal outcomes among patients, post liver transplantation at Assiut university.
Highly active hepatitis B virus (HBV) is known to be associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aims to investigate the relationship between HBV status and HCC recurrence after liver transplantation. The study retrospectively analyzed HCC patients undergoing liver transplantation in 2 centers between January 2015 and December 2020. We reviewed post-transplant HBV status and its association with outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of intraoperative terlipressin on the incidence of early postoperative acute kidney injury in deceased doner liver transplantation. Patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by numerical randomization table. The experimental group was injected with terlipressin perioperative and the control group was injected with placebo
The main goal of this observational study is to measure the prevalence of binge eating disorder in liver transplant patients by evaluating the responses to the Bulimia Test. Secondary objectives of the study are to: - Determine the prevalence of binge eating disorders in liver transplant patients following alcoholic cirrhosis, evaluated by the Bulimia Test; - Study the association between the presence of eating disorder behaviours and liver damage : hepatic steatosis and fibrosis determined by Fibroscan (Transient elastography and controlled attenuation parameter) - Study the association between presence of eating disorder behaviours and alcohol use disorder, measured by Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the ability of Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) to resuscitate moderately steatotic livers for transplantation in patients. This will be a single-site clinical trial placing donor livers with 30-60% macrosteatosis on NMP, and then transplanting those that meet commonly accepted viability criteria. The results of this study could lead to a trial extending NMP transplantation to severely steatotic livers, further expanding the donor organ pool.
Liver transplantation is a treatment method used in acute and chronic liver failure. Progressive Relaxation Exercises, which are non-pharmacological methods aimed at minimizing complications and improving the quality of life after liver transplantation, have been reported to have many benefits such as reducing acute and chronic pain, reducing fatigue and reducing muscle tension. Therefore, in this study, the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on pain and kinesiophobia in liver transplant patients were examined.
This is a multi-center clinical trial in Cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative prospective liver transplant recipients to determine the efficacy of two doses of Cytomegalovirus-Modified Vaccinia Ankara (CMV-MVA) Triplex CMV vaccine pre-transplant. The primary objective is to assess the effect of pre-transplant (Tx) Triplex vaccination on duration of CMV antiviral therapy (AVT) within the first 100 days post-Tx in CMV seropositive donor (D+) and seronegative (R-) (D+R-) liver transplant recipients (LTxRs). A protocol-mandated preemptive therapy (PET) will be used for CMV disease prevention in D+R- LTxRs.
Our study aimed at studying the impact of gene polymorphism of NFKBIA and PTPN22 genes on rejection episodes in liver transplant Egyptian recipients. Also assess patients' factors associated with graft rejection.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of liver conditions ranging from liver steatosis (NAFL), steatohepatitis (NASH), advanced liver fibrosis and ultimately leads to cirrhosis in a significant proportion of individuals. NAFLD is intimately associated with insulin resistance and associated disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia. It has been noted that several individuals with liver transplantation develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the transplanted liver. This is because of the presence of various risk factors of obesity and NAFLD, such as decreased physical activity, that persist following liver transplantation. Post-liver transplant patients are particularly at risk for developing NAFLD, as these patients are on oral steroids and immunosuppressants for a significant period of time. There is no medication approved for the prevention or treatment of NAFLD. Semaglutide is an GLP-1 receptor agonist that have been approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Semaglutide has also been demonstrated to have beneficial effects on NAFLD. However, there is no data on the effect of semaglutide on liver fat accumulation or changes in body composition in patients following liver transplantation. Therefore, the current pilot study is planned to evaluate the effect of oral semaglutide on the liver fat, liver enzymes and body composition in patients undergoing liver transplantation
