The Perioperative Value of Platelet Counts in Predicting Outcome After Liver Transplantation

NCT01711957 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 250

Last updated 2012-10-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recent experimental and clinical studies have shown that platelets play a critical role in liver ischemia and regeneration. Thrombocytopenia, a frequent and potentially serious condition in liver transplantation (LT) recipients, was shown to be associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality after partial hepatectomy.

The investigators aim at evaluating whether postoperative low platelet counts are indicators of short- and long-term outcomes after liver transplantation.
