AGRA Before and After Liver Transplantation
Sponsor: Medical University of Graz
Summary
The immune system is impaired in liver cirrhotic patients, which is associated with a high risk for bacterial infections and worse outcome. A novel biomarker, acellular growth retardation ability (AGRA), can predict the development of severe infections in patients with liver cirrhosis and therefore identify patients at risk. It is still unclear, how this biomarker develops after liver transplantation and how valid its predictions are for post-operative infections. Therefore, AGRA will be measured before and after liver transplantation and predictive merit of AGRA for post-transplant infections will be tested.
