Assessment of Vertebral Fracture Risk for First Time Liver Transplant Candidates

NCT03811873 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 52

Last updated 2023-05-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The researchers are trying to compare the effectiveness of Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) in addition to the current standard of care spine x-ray in evaluation pre-liver transplant patients.

Conditions

  • Metabolic Bone Disease
  • Transplant-Related Disorder
  • Secondary Osteoporosis

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Dual x-ray absorptiometry

DEXA is a means of measuring bone mineral density (BMD) using spectral imaging. Two X-ray beams, with different energy levels, are aimed at the bones. Soft tissue absorption is subtracted out, then the bone mineral density (BMD) can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone.

OTHER

Vertebral Fracture Assessment

Lumbar/thoracic spine x-ray and labs assessed for bone turnover markers.
