This study tests whether taking ursodeoxycholic acid (a bile acid pill) after a living donor liver transplant helps the new liver grow and work better. It may speed up recovery and improve liver function.
This trial studies a way to help people who need liver surgery but have a very small remaining liver after the operation. It tests a special growth observation approach to see if it can safely increase the size of the future liver remnant.
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 tests a special machine that keeps donated livers healthy before they're transplanted. It aims to improve transplant success and help more people receive a liver.
This trial tests a new way to check if a donated liver is healthy while it is kept on a machine that keeps it alive before transplant. Doctors measure a substance called FMN in the fluid that flows through the liver and in bile. This could help them know how well the liver might work after transplant.
This trial tests techniques to help the liver grow before surgery in people who have a liver tumor and whose future liver remnant is too small. The goal is to make the liver big enough to safely remove the tumor.
