Changes in Glucose Tolerance in Patients With Cirrhosis Peri-Liver Transplant

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The goal of this observational study is to establish risk factors for post-transplant in adult individuals with cirrhosis without diabetes undergoing liver transplant evaluation. The question being addressed is: can laboratory work, anthropometric tests, functional tests, imaging, and advanced measurements such as wrist actigraphy, continuous glucose monitoring, or oral glucose tolerance testing predict the development of diabetes after liver transplant? Participants will be asked to periodically participate in wearing a continuous glucose monitor and wrist actigraph and obtain an oral glucose tolerance test both before and after liver transplant.
