Genes and graft fat after liver transplant study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) who received a living donor liver transplant at least 3 years ago.
- Your liver disease before transplant was MASH (formerly NASH), a type of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with scarring.
- Your transplant was done at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in India.
- Your living liver donor (the person who donated part of their liver to you) is also willing to be in the study.
- Your transplant was not done for acute liver failure or acute-on-chronic liver failure.

This study tracks how liver transplantation affects your bone density and mineral metabolism. It aims to find changes early, which can help prevent fractures later.
This study looks at how common fatty liver disease is in people who have had a liver transplant for reasons other than fatty liver or unknown causes. It aims to find what increases the risk, so doctors can help prevent it.
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.
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 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.
