Dissecting the Genetic and Environmental Contributions of Autoimmune Liver Disease: Genetic Repository of Autoimmune Liver Disease and Contributing Exposures (GRACE)Study
C
Craig Lammert, MD
J
Jessica MacLean
The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a systematic approach to dissect both genetic underpinnings and nongenetic factors in the development of adult autoimmune liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), overlap AIH with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (AIH-PBC), overlap AIH with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (AIH-PSC), and drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis …
Determining the Prevalence of de-novo Post Liver Transplantation in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
N
Niharika Samala, MD
Niharika Samala, MD
The purpose of this study is to bridge the gap of knowledge pertaining to NAFLD in post-LT patients, we propose to study this population, determine the disease burden, and characterize the risk factors for NAFLD in a cohort of liver transplant recipients who received transplantation for NASH and other indications.
Global Longitudinal Assessment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) using Magnetic Resonance Elastography (GOLD-MINE)
R
Raj Vuppalanchi, MD
NAFLD is a common liver disease in the United States. The causes of NAFLD are unknown, but are probably due to different reasons, from inherited characteristics to personal lifestyle. Some reasons may increase the chance of developing NAFLD (these are called “risk factors”) while other reasons may decrease the chance …
Characterization of Patients Referred to Indiana University for Evaluation and Management of Suspected Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
N
Niharika Samala, MD
What is this study about?Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease have varied etiologies, associated risk factors and disease severity. One purpose of this study is to determine the possible etiological factors, risk factors, and disease severity of all patients referred to Digestive and Liver Diseases Clinics for presumed NAFLD. Another …
Simultaneous Prospective Kidney Transplant assessment in Combined Liver Kidney Candidates (RECOVERY) Study
M
Muhammad Jan
K
Kenneth Lim
The purpose of the study is to determine how much a persons kidney function recovers after receiving a simultaneous liver kidney transplant. We are interested to see if a liver transplant alone makes it unnecessary to perform a kidney transplant.
Oral Contraceptive Induced Hepatic Adenomas: Building a Biorepository
C
Craig Lammert, MD
J
Jessica MacLean
This study is being done to find out why some women taking birth control pills develop rare liver tumors called hepatic adenomas.
Patient and Caregiver Reported Outcomes in Adult Liver Transplant Candidates
L
Lauren Nephew
We are doing this research study to evaluate the lived experience of adults who have already had a liver transplant or are in the process of being worked up for a liver transplant. The data gathered from this project will be used to identify unmet needs of patient undergoing LT …
Indiana University Intensive Care Unit Hepatology Registry (ICU-Registry): A Prospective Observational Study
K
Kavish Patidar
Despite gaining knowledge on the probable pathophysiology driving organ dysfunction in acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF), there is little prospective data on the clinical course of organ dysfunction (before, during, and after) associated with ACLF in the ICU setting. Isolated clinical characteristics in critically ill cirrhotic patients such as …
Genetic Collection Protocol
J
Jean Molleston, MD
This study involves the one-time collection of whole blood or saliva samples for thed storage of DNA for use in ongoing and future ChiLDReN studies.
Longitudinal Study of Mitochondrial Hepatopathies (MITOHEP)
J
Jean Molleston, MD
The purpose of this study is to help researchers learn more about these rare liver diseases that occur in infants, children, and young adults.
