China Liver Transplant Registry plays an important role in liver transplantation

In China, liver transplantation is an important discipline in the field of organ transplantation. China Liver Transplant Registry (CLTR) is a scientific project that has been set up to advance surgical techniques and procedures and to improve both short- and long-term post-transplant follow-up and outcome of the liver recipients. CLTR also serves as a robust data support platform for the National Liver Transplant Quality Control Center in the quest to upscale its quality control protocols. The mission of CLTR is to register all liver transplantation activities in the mainland of China and to conduct scientific analyses of the collected data. The huge number of compiled cases and the scientific research conducted over the past decade based on this database drastically revolutionized the clinical practice in the country. All CLTR activities and projects will be a guarantee to foster progresses of liver transplantation in China in a more scientific way, to standardize the systematic care in the field of liver transplantation.
