Predicting bile duct complications after liver transplant
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at past liver transplant patients to create a tool that helps predict whether someone might have bile duct problems after surgery. If you had a liver transplant at this hospital, your data could help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have received your first liver transplant at Sun Yat-sen University First Affiliated Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your transplant must have used a whole liver from a deceased donor (not a living donor or split liver).
- No other organs were transplanted at the same time (just the liver).
- You had a pre-transplant health evaluation and a follow-up ultrasound after surgery.

This trial tests placing a temporary drainage stent during liver transplant surgery in children to see if it helps prevent bile duct complications. It might improve recovery for young transplant recipients.
This study looks at what factors lead to “biliary complications” (problems involving the bile ducts that help move bile from the liver) after an adult living-donor liver transplant. It’s aimed at people who had this specific type of transplant at the study hospital in Egypt.
This study compares two ways of connecting the bile duct during a liver transplant to see which leads to a smoother recovery. It is for adults having a planned first transplant from a deceased donor.
This study looks back at medical records of people who had liver cancer (HCC) and had either a transplant or surgery to remove the tumor. It aims to improve a tool that helps predict how well a patient may do, which could guide future treatment decisions.
This study follows people who are getting a liver transplant (including repeat transplants) to monitor changes in their body using test results. It may help doctors understand how patients are doing after transplant and improve care over time.
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.
