Liver Transplant Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemo-radiotherapy in the Treatment of Unresectable Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma. A Prospective Multicenter Study.

A prospective multicentre pilot study which includes patients 70 years-old diagnosed of unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA) 3cm in radial diameter, without evidence of lymph node or distant metastases. Liver transplantation preceded by neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy will be performed in this selected group. The primary endpoint will be overall survival at 1, …

Part II: Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor Adjunct Therapy for Biliary Atresia

The Investigators propose to test the hypothesis that GCSF enhances the clinical outcome of biliary atresia in a multi-institutional Phase 2 trial to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of GCSF in each of the 2 groups of newly diagnosed BA patients: KBA (i.e., Kasai-operated) or NoK (i.e., patients who …

Treatment of Anemia With Intravenous Iron in Patients Listed for Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

The aim of this study is to investigate whether therapy with intravenous iron carboxymaltose in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) listed for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) increases hemoglobin concentrations and reduces intraoperative transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs). The investigators hypothesize that therapy with intravenous iron will increase …

Everolimus Plus Mycophenolic Acid for Kidney Preservation in Liver Transplant Recipients With Impaired Kidney Function

Tacrolimus is the standard immunosuppressive drug used to prevent organ rejection post liver transplant. One side effect of Tacrolimus is nephrotoxicity. Everolimus does not have the nephrotoxicity side effects of Tacrolimus. Replacement of Tacrolimus by Everolimus may have a reduced incidence of renal dysfunction in liver transplant patients who already …

Fatty Liver  

[1] In those who are severely affected, liver transplantation may be an option.[1] More than 90% of all heavy drinkers develop fatty liver while about 25% develop the more severe alcoholic hepatitis.

A Study of the Correlation Between Portal Vein Thrombosis and Prognosis of Liver Transplantation

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the correlation between portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and the prognosis of liver transplantation. The main questions it aims to address are: What is the prevalence of PVT? What are the risk factors associated with PVT?

Precise Profiling of Liver Disease Patients With DPMAS Therapy, Treating Optimal Patients and Achieving Hard Endpoint (PADSTONE Study) (PADSTONE)

For the treatment of ACLF patients, recent studies investigated the efficiency of extracorporeal liver support, such as albumin dialysis, plasma exchange. However, the efficiencies remain unclear. Liver transplantation is the most efficient way to improve the survival of ACLF patients, especially for those patients with three or more organ failure.
