Usefulness of Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) for the Assessment of Liver Steatosis in Liver Donors
The primary aim is to determine the accuracy of CAP in the quantification of liver steatosis
using liver biopsies as reference. Secondarily, investigators will correlate transient
elastography (TE) and CAP results, analyze possible associations between CAP/TE and
post-liver transplant (LT) clinical outcomes, and evaluate the change in CAP after LT. The
study aims to include as many donors as needed to achieve 100 transplanted liver allografts.
