New Urine and Blood Markers for Acute Kidney Injury in Liver Transplant Patients

Withdrawn
Conditions
Renal Insufficiency, Acute
Registration Number
NCT00855127
Lead Sponsor
University of Colorado, Denver
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find new blood and urine tests that detect acute kidney injury earlier than our current blood tests in patients receiving a liver transplant.

Detailed Description

Patients with end stage liver disease that receive a liver transplant will be studied to determine if novel serum and urine biomarkers (serum cystatin C, urine interleukin-18 \[IL-18\] and urine neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin \[NGAL\]) can predict the outcome measures listed above.
