Observational Study of Biomarker During Liver Surgery
- Conditions
- Liver CancerHepatobiliary Tract Adenomas and Carcinomas
- Interventions
- Procedure: Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Registration Number
- NCT02102971
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Florida
- Brief Summary
The investigators would like to study whether Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays a cytoprotective role in liver ischemia/reperfusion, and ultimately to develop therapeutic strategies to improve hepatic function of patients with liver diseases.
- Detailed Description
If asked to participate in this research study, it is because a liver resection/liver transplantation surgery has been scheduled. During the procedure a small section will be collected for additional testing of Sirtuin 1. In addition, information concerning the liver disease, laboratory and pathology results after surgery will be collected by the investigators.
