Observational Study of Biomarker During Liver Surgery

Terminated
Conditions
Liver Cancer
Hepatobiliary 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.
