AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with cirrhosis (liver scarring) who come to a liver transplant clinic. It studies what predicts diabetes after a liver transplant.
- Age
- Over 18 years (record lists 18 Years to 75 Years).
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Diagnosis of cirrhosis, being seen at a liver transplant clinic.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Pregnant patients
- People in prison
- People who cannot give consent and have no representative to consent for them
- People with implanted defibrillators or electrical devices that cannot be removed or turned off cannot have the body composition test
- People with type 2 diabetes diagnosed more than 5 years ago cannot have the oral glucose tolerance test

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The goal of this observational study is to establish risk factors for post-transplant in adult individuals with cirrhosis without diabetes undergoing liver transplant evaluation.

The question being addressed is: can laboratory work, anthropometric tests, functional tests, imaging, and advanced measurements such as wrist actigraphy, continuous glucose monitoring, or oral glucose tolerance testing predict the development of diabetes after liver transplant?
Participants will be asked to periodically participate in wearing a continuous glucose monitor and wrist actigraph and obtain an oral glucose tolerance test both before and after liver transplant.
Questions to ask the study team
- How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
- Are travel costs paid?
- Can I keep my own doctor?
- What happens if I want to stop?
