A complication that can occur after liver transplant (LT) is rejection, in which the patient's immune system damages the transplanted liver. This complication can be prevented with immunosuppressant medications, which are routinely used after LT. The main purpose of this study is to determine if bacteria in the intestine (gut microbiome) may affect the…
The purpose of this observational research study is to identify things that contribute to outcomes in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease who are being considered for liver transplant and who have less than 6 months of sobriety.
