Liver fat study in living donors
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at stored medical data from living liver donors to better understand fat in the liver (steatosis). It may help improve future transplant care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are donating part of your liver (a living donor) at Erasmus MC in the Netherlands.
- The donation must happen between May 2004 and June 2026.
- You have signed a consent form to participate in the study.
Quick eligibility check

This study looks at how the donor's liver grows back after donating a part of it for a living donor liver transplant. If you have donated a part of your liver between 2004 and 2026, joining could help doctors learn more about liver healing.
This trial uses registry data to build better prediction models for people who receive a liver transplant from a living donor. It may help doctors understand who will have the best results.
This study looks at how well CT scans and MRI scans (MRCP) show the blood vessels in the liver before a living donor liver donation. It aims to find out which scan is better at planning the surgery.
This study looks at how genetic differences between liver donors and recipients affect fat buildup in the new liver after transplantation. It may help doctors understand why some transplanted livers develop steatosis (fatty liver) after the surgery.
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to quickly measure how much fat is in a liver during donation or surgery. It aims to help doctors better assess liver health without waiting for lab results.
This study is creating a database of people with severe liver problems or who have had a liver transplant. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve care.
