This study looks at how frail liver transplant candidates are before surgery and whether that affects their recovery afterward. Participants will complete simple physical and mental tasks to help doctors better understand their overall health before the transplant.
This study looks at how nutrition affects the health of people with liver cirrhosis (scarred liver) and aims to build a tool to predict their outcomes. If you have cirrhosis, joining may help researchers find better ways to support your health.
This study looks at why some people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) develop malnutrition, especially when blood flow is redirected during certain surgeries. It may help explain what contributes to low body weight and muscle so better treatments can be planned in the future.
This study tests a new care support program for people with cirrhosis or who have had a liver transplant. It aims to improve how patients are followed and helped at the hospital.
This study tests whether eating better and doing gentle exercise before your liver transplant can help you stay healthier and recover better after surgery. You'll work with a nutrition expert and exercise specialist to prepare your body for transplant.
This trial tests an online prehabilitation program (strength and fitness training delivered digitally) to help people who are likely to need a liver transplant become stronger before transplant. It may benefit people who feel “frail” or “pre-frail,” since improving strength before surgery can help recovery.
