Feeding Behavior & Taste Sensitivity Before & After Liver or Renal

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the influence of the taste sensitivity, of food preferences and of the reward system on the energetic balance before and after liver transplantation in cirrhotic patients and after kidney transplantation in renal failure patients

Clinical Trial Description

Background and Aims: Protein-energy malnutrition is associated to cirrhosis with a high prevalence and greatly increases the morbidity and mortality of the disease. Malnutrition results of numerous causes including intestinal malabsorption, increased energy resting expenditure, metabolism disturbances, impaired sensory taste and changes in food preferences which might participate to a reduction in food intake. The aim of this study was to determine the relationships that may exist between taste sensitivity and food preferences on the one hand, eating habits, nutritional status, energy balance and biological parameters including amino acids on the other hand in patients with end-stage cirrhosis and in patients with renal failure.

Fifteen end-stage cirrhotic patients and 15 renal failure patients will be included and matched with 30 healthy subjects. The following parameters will be evaluated during a morning testing session: gustatory sensitivity using a triangular detection threshold method for sweet, salty and umami solutions; preferences for fat- and carbohydrate-rich foods using the PrefQuest score; liking for six foods (protein-, carbohydrate- and fat-rich foods) and wanting for 18 foods (photographs); hunger sensation; energy intake (24 h ingested food); body composition (BMI and impedancemetry); resting energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry) and physical activity (questionnaire). Several plasmatic parameters (amino-acids, leptin, ghrelin, lipid profile) will be also determined. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
