• Conditions: Liver Transplanatation

• Registration Number: NCT02534025
• Lead Sponsor: Mansoura University

Brief Summary

Remote (upper arm) ischemic preconditioning in the donor of living donor liver transplanta to ameliorate the effect of reperfusion injury in recipients.

Detailed Description
