Summary: The goal of this prospective observational study is to report the duration of preoperative clear fluids fasting in patients undergoing liver transplant. It will also learn about the relationship between the duration of preoperative clear fluids fasting and changes in hemodynamic variables and metabolic profile at various anesthesia and transplant phases. The main questions it aims to answer are: *...

Summary: Liver transplantation is often performed to treat liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), in patients with impaired liver function due to cirrhosis. A shortcoming, however, is tumor recurrence after transplantation. Approximately 15 % of patients receiving livers develop recurrence and this depends on the quality of the liver received. Machine liver perfusion, for example, hypothermic oxy...

Summary: This is a single-arm, single institution pilot registry of liver transplantation in patients with unresectable colorectal liver-only metastases at Weill Cornell Medical College. Patients with liver predominant colorectal liver metastases will be screened based on eligibility criteria in a specified clinical hepatobiliary and colorectal liver metastasis tumor board consisting of the principal and c...

Summary: Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), one of the most common inborn errors of organic acid metabolism, is heterogeneous in etiology and clinical manifestations. Affected patients with cblA, cblB and mut classes of MMA are medically fragile and can suffer from complications such as metabolic stroke or infarction of the basal ganglia, pancreatitis, end stage renal failure, growth impairment, osteoporosis, a...

Summary: To verify whether albumin administration to achieve serum concentration above 30g/L (treated group) and its maintenance within plasmatic physiologic range (above 30 g/L) for five days diminishes rate of AKI at Day 7 after liver transplantation as compared to restrained albumin administration (when serum concentration is at 20 g/L or below (control)).

Summary: We propose a multi-center randomized trial to test the primary hypothesis that tranexamic acid is superior to placebo on blood loss in adult orthotopic liver transplantation within the initial 24 hours and that tranexamic acid is non-inferior to placebo for a composite of thrombotic events within the initial 7 postoperative days. Secondarily, we will determine whether tranexamic acid is superior t...

Summary: This is an open label, single-arm, multicenter phase 1b study of stable adult liver transplant recipients on a tacrolimus (TAC)-based immunosuppression (IS) regimen who will transition from TAC to Everolimus (EVR), receive five doses of EPO and concurrently initiate phased withdrawal from EVR. The primary objective is to test the safety of administering Everolimus (EVR) and epoetin alfa (EPO) to i...

Summary: Patients will be informed by obtaining consent when they meet the inclusion criteria. Written consent will be obtained when the patient arrives in the operating room. The patient's characteristics (gender, age, liver disease) and the biochemistry, hemogram and coagulation values taken before the surgery will be written on the prepared follow-up form. After the hand grip strength is recorded in kg ...

Summary: The goal of this study is to find out if quality assessment by normothermic machine perfusion can be used to safely increase the number of usable donor livers, helping more people get transplants faster and with better results. This process keeps a donated liver working outside the body before transplantation, allowing surgeons to assess whether livers previously considered unsuitable can still be...

Summary: The Mycophenolate Pregnancy Registry is designed as a prospective, observational registry collecting data regarding mycophenolate exposure during pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes, fetal and infant outcomes after exposure. Early and later term pregnancy outcomes will be solicited at selected gestational time points. Structural and functional birth defects identified in the perinatal period through...

Summary: Cirrhosis is a major challenge in France, with a growing prevalence of 1,500 to 2,500 cases per million inhabitants, and the discovery of 150 to 200 new cases per million inhabitants each year. The main causes are alcohol, hepatitis B and C, and metabolic syndrome. Severe complications of cirrhosis, such as digestive hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, infections and primary liver cancer,...

Summary: Transplantation for end-stage-liver disease (ESLD) in the context of Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease (AALD) has been increasing and represents the main indication for Liver Transplantation (LT) in the world. Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is considered a brain chronic disease and requires a transdisciplinary approach that includes medical treatment and behavioral interventions. In the context of LT, ...
