Quantifying Steatosis in Liver Transplant Donors
Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong
Summary
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease in Hong Kong. Its presence among donors of living donor liver transplants could affect the outcomes of recipients of liver transplantation. By using controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) measurements, the investigators aim to investigate the association of CAP measurements and severity of fatty liver among liver donors in the recipient outcomes of living donor liver transplantation.
