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 collects information from people getting a liver transplant. It looks at bone health and mineral levels in the body to better understand how they change after transplant.
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 looks at how bone structure and blood-vessel calcification change before and after a kidney transplant. It may help doctors better understand what to monitor for long-term health after transplantation.
This study looks at bone and mineral disorders in people on dialysis, after a kidney transplant, or with bone thinning. It aims to understand how these conditions affect bone health.
This research study tracks early signs of immune system changes in children who received a liver transplant 3–7 years ago and are doing well. By studying blood and liver samples, researchers hope to better understand how to prevent rejection and improve long-term transplant survival.
