Predicting heavy blood transfusion during liver transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks for factors that can predict when a person might need a very large blood transfusion during a liver transplant. The results may help the transplant team prepare sooner and better manage transfusions during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be scheduled to undergo a liver transplant
- Be age 18 or older
- Not be having a liver transplant again within the last 30 days
- Not be having a combined kidney-and-liver transplant

This trial studies how doctors manage bleeding before, during, and after liver transplant surgery. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people receiving a new liver.
This study is for people with severe liver cirrhosis who are getting a liver transplant from a living donor. It looks at the risk of bleeding or clotting problems after the transplant, to help doctors better manage these risks.
This study tests whether a special way of moving blood through the donor abdomen before surgery can improve liver (and other organ) transplant quality. It may help because doctors can check how well the liver seems to be working before it’s actually used.
This study tests ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions during major liver surgery. Researchers will track patients undergoing large liver resections to see if new blood-management techniques can help you need fewer transfusions while staying safe.
This study uses a computer program to predict lung problems after a liver transplant. It may help doctors better care for people like you.
This study checks whether a special blood test can predict who is at higher risk of graft loss (the transplanted liver not working well) and death after a liver transplant. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier and tailor follow-up care.
