Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Trial to test the effect of administering N-acetylcysteine on cytokines and markers of oxidant stress and the incidence of acute renal failure post liver tranplant

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. To determine levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers in liver transplant patients during post-transplant period
2. To correlate changes in pro-inflammatory cytokines and markers of oxidative stress to acute renal failure and acute rejection
3. To determine the impact of using N-acetylcysteine on cytokines and markers of oxidative stress and the incidence of acute renal failure post liver transplantation
