The purpose of this study is to understand how liverdisease affects thinking and memory, both before and after transplant. Participants will take a cognitive test, which will be a series of tasks and questions similar to a video game, at home on their own computers, tablets, or phones. This will…
The main purpose of this study is to deeply characterize cognitive function in liver transplant recipients, differentiate among different causes of cognitive impairment, and identify contributors to cognitive impairment. Participants will receive a comprehensive neurological exam, cognitive assessment, neuropsychological…
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of functional status (also known as "frailty") using a physical test in patients with liverdisease on their health outcomes. We are enrolling patients prior to liver transplantation, and will continue to…
The purpose of this observational research study is to identify things that contribute to outcomes in patients with alcohol-associated liverdisease who are being considered for liver transplant and who have less than 6 months of sobriety. We will look at many…
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, controlled study for subjects with end stage liverdisease who require a liver transplant, comparing whole liver preservation via hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) using the LLT System…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of siplizumab when used as induction immunosuppression in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis or autoimmune hepatitis undergoing liver transplantation. Induction immunosuppression drugs are very potent anti-rejection drugs that are given immediately after…
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin…
We're conducting a research study on how much insulin is needed to control blood sugar in people who are made temporarily resistant to insulin's effects. Insulin is the main hormone (chemical signal) that the body uses to lower the levels of sugar in the blood. We are interested in looking at insulin levels because we think that lowering insulin levels may…
We are recruiting healthy volunteers, aged 18-65, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone,…
