Full 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.
