U.S., June 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07015723) titled 'Steatosis Assessment Pre-LDLT' on June 04.
Brief Summary: There is a major shortage of donor livers in the Netherlands. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a good solution to this shortage. Donor screening is extensive to minimalize risks for donors and recipients. During screening, the vascular anatomy of the liver is assessed with CT, the bile duct anatomy with MRCP, and liver steatosis with a biopsy.
