Blood sugar changes and infection risk after liver transplant
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood sugar levels change during liver transplant surgery and whether those changes are linked to infections afterward. If you join, researchers will track your blood sugar during the operation and watch for infections after, which may help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for a liver transplant that is planned ahead of time (not an emergency).
- This must be your first liver transplant (you cannot have had one before).
- You cannot be having a multi-organ transplant (like a kidney and liver at the same time).
- You cannot have an active infection that requires antibiotics at the time of surgery.

This study looks at blood markers of the immune system to see if they can predict complications after a liver transplant. It aims to help doctors personalize care and catch problems early.
This study looks at people with type 2 diabetes who are either waiting for a liver transplant or have already had one. Researchers want to understand how diabetes treatment affects outcomes before and after transplant.
This study looks at how the body processes sugar (glucose) in people with cirrhosis who are waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to track changes in blood sugar control before and after transplant, which may help improve care for patients with liver disease.
This study looks at what types of germs (bacteria, viruses, etc.) cause infections in people after a liver transplant. By understanding these germs, doctors hope to better prevent and treat infections, which could help you recover more smoothly.
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help manage blood sugar levels in patients who have just received a liver transplant and have high blood sugar in the hospital.
This study develops a score to predict infection risk right after a liver transplant. It uses blood samples from transplant day to identify which patients are more likely to get infections, helping doctors tailor care.
