Effect of discarding initial reperfusion blood on liver transplant outcomes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether discarding the first blood that flows through the new liver during transplant surgery improves liver function and recovery. It may help reduce complications after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a liver transplant at the University of São Paulo General Hospital.
- You have not had previous liver surgery.
- You do not have severe liver disease that causes sudden liver failure or major electrolyte imbalances.
- You do not have kidney failure requiring dialysis.
- You are not receiving a liver from a living donor, a retransplant, or a combined organ transplant.

This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers (called machine perfusion) after they are recovered from donors who died from circulatory causes. It aims to see if this method helps the liver work better before transplant.
This study looks at how blood moves through your body right after a liver transplant, focusing on the balance between large and small blood vessels. The information could help doctors better care for you during this critical time.
This trial tests whether using a machine to keep donated livers healthy (normothermic machine perfusion) can allow more people to receive a transplant sooner. It is for patients who are already on the waiting list for a liver and have a moderately severe MELD score (25 or less).
This study looks at ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions during major liver surgery. It uses a technique to carefully manage blood loss, which may help you avoid needing donor blood.
This trial tests a new way to preserve donated livers before transplant, which may help people with severe liver disease get a transplant sooner. It may be an option for patients with certain cancers or urgent liver failure.
This trial studies how doctors manage bleeding before, during, and after liver transplant surgery. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people receiving a new liver.
