NCT01300390

Brief Summary

The overall hypothesis is that endothelial function, apolipoprotein levels and adiponectin levels are accurate predictors of underlying cardiovascular disease in patients with end-stage liver disease, in whom standard tools for the diagnosis of and screening for cardiovascular disease are of limited utility.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Endothelial dysfunction in cirrhotic liver transplant candidates up to one year after transplant.

    Endothelial function testing will be performed by reactive hyperemia peripheral artery tonometry in consecutive patients ≥21 years old awaiting liver transplantation and repeated at 3 weeks, 4 months and 1 year post transplantation

    one year posttransplant

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular disease by endothelial dysfunction and blood testing up to one year pre-transplant

    1 year posttransplant

Study Arms (1)

End-stage liver disease pre-transplant

Patients with end-stage liver disease (non-fulminant) awaiting liver transplant
