NCT04618692
Comparison of biliary complications in right lobe living donor liver transplantation patients undergoing biliary reconstructions using microscope versus surgical loupes .
NCT03193151
INTERLIVER is a prospective observational study of the relationship of the molecular phenotype of 300 liver transplant biopsies to the histologic phenotype and the clinical features and outcomes. A segment of a biopsy performed as standard-of-care for indications, or by center protocol, will be used for gene expression study.
NCT07144501
Liver dysfunction is a well-documented complication in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). The mechanisms leading to hepatic dysfunction may be multifactorial. Key risk factors for liver dysfunction in CHD include prolonged hypoxemia, high venous pressure, and prolonged duration of heart disease. While global studies have extensively explored this association, the prevalence of liver dysfunction in CHD varies, with studies reporting hepatic fibrosis in 30-40% of Fontan patients, while regional data, particularly from Egypt, remain limited. In this research we aim to determine the prevalence of biochemical and radiological hepatic abnormalities in pediatric CHD patients attending Assiut University Children's Hospital.
NCT05793203
A lot of different early and late complications may occur after liver transplantation. They could be related to surgical procedure, to infectious diseases or immuno-mediated diseases (acute cellular rejection, ACR). Almost all of those complications are characterized by an elevation in liver enzymes (ALT, AST and GGT) and a decline of liver function tests (serum bilirubin and INR increase) possibly leading to early allograft disfunction (EAD). In this scenario there is a lack of biomarker that could predict the development of ACR and/or EAD. The aim of this study is to explore the prognostic role of non-invasive instrumental and biological marker in the early post-transplant phase.
NCT04004481
Tramadol is opioid analgesic widely used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is metabolized by cytochrome CYP2D6 into two major metabolites: pharmacologically active metabolite O-desmethyltramadol (M1) and inactive N-desmethyltramadol (M2), respectively. Tramadol kinetics in a population of patients undergoing major abdominal surgical procedures, and in patients with a greater or lesser degree of organic failure, is still not well researched. The investigators will measure plasma concentrations of tramadol and its metabolites after usual tramadol doses in ICU patients after major abdominal surgery. Also analgesic affect and side effect of tramadol will be recorded.
NCT03155984
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation is common during anti-CD20 containing chemotherapy, even in HBsAg-negative patients with only prior HBV exposure. The optimal timing of commencing antiviral therapy and the interval of clinical monitoring is uncertain. 25% of the Hong Kong population has prior HBV exposure. The investigators plan monitor this cohort of patients and determine (1) the optimal time point for starting antiviral therapy based on the progression of HBV reactivation, and (2) the optimal interval of clinical monitoring.
NCT01000337
Anesthesia may affect the function of vital organs. Liver is one of them. The investigator's hypothesis is that intravenous or inhalation anesthesia does not impair liver function as assessed by more elegant tests like markers indicating liver apoptosis. In the present randomized prospective trial female patients scheduled for mastectomy or thyroidectomy will receive inhalation or total intravenous anesthesia and markers for liver dysfunction will be determined.
NCT02882113
This study is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, 24 weeks, and investigator-initiated clinical trial to assess the influence of CYP3A5 polymorphism on liver function abnormality and the trough level change after conversion to Advagraf® in liver transplant recipients.
