RESTORATION OF HEPATIC FUNCTION IN LIVING LIVER DONORS (ANCILLARY STUDY OF A2ALL

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究的目的是确定接受右肝切除供肝移植的患者的完全肝功能恢复的速度和程度。标准的血液测试和肝脏的X光成像不能提供有关肝功能程度的完整信息。在这项研究中，我们将使用特殊的测试来测量您的肝脏的功能和大小，以及右叶切除后肝组织的再生量。在测量右叶捐献后功能恢复程度方面，这些测试可能比标准的实验室测试更好。这些测试也可能有助于预测哪些患者可能会出现并发症，特别是那些与肝功能恢复延迟有关的并发症。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to determine the rate and extent of return of full liver function in patients who undergo removal of the right lobe of their liver for donation for transplantation. Standard blood tests and x-ray imaging of your liver do not give complete information about the degree of liver function. In this study we will use special tests to measure your liver's function and size, as well as the amount of regrowth of liver tissue that occurs after the right lobe is removed. These tests may be better than standard laboratory tests in measuring the degree of return of function after right lobe donation. These tests may also be useful in predicting which patients may suffer complications, especially those related to delay in return of liver function.
