Infection treatment after liver transplant using mNGS testing
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using a special test called mNGS to find the exact infection in donated organs helps doctors choose better antibiotics for patients after a liver transplant. It may help reduce infections and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- The donated liver came from a donor who had an infection and was treated for it.
- Your medical records and the donor's medical records are complete.
- You did not have serious surgical problems like heavy bleeding or organ failure during or right after the transplant.

This trial tests a blood test that looks for infection by analyzing tiny bits of DNA from microbes. It may help find infections faster in people with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients or those with blood cancers.
This study uses a special DNA sequencing method to monitor liver transplant patients. It may help doctors detect problems earlier and improve outcomes.
This trial uses a DNA test to better detect infections in people with advanced liver disease who are hospitalized. It may help doctors find the right treatment faster.
This trial tests a new way to find infections (using a test called mNGS) that may be quicker and more accurate than standard tests. It is for people with blood cancers who show signs of a possible fungal infection, like fever or abnormal lung scans.
This trial checks if monitoring antibiotic levels in the blood can help doctors give the right dose to liver transplant patients with serious bacterial infections. The goal is to make the treatment work better.
This study looks at what types of germs (bacteria, viruses, etc.) cause infections in people after a liver transplant. By understanding these germs, doctors hope to better prevent and treat infections, which could help you recover more smoothly.
