NCT00780026

Brief Summary

The goal of the proposed study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative, strict glycemic control to improve survival and infection rates following liver transplantation in a randomized, prospective trial.Primary objective: To determine if strict intraoperative blood glucose control, when compared to standard intraoperative glycemic control, improves 1-year recipient survival and decreases surgical complications, including infections, following liver transplantation.
