Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study parameter is the intestinal uptake of microbiome-derived metabolites as defined by their enrichment between arterial (pre-intestinal) and post-intestinal (portal venous) blood samples.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are the association between intestinal uptake of metabolites with microbial features determined by metagenomic sequencing, and - in the subset of patients undergoing partial liver resection - the rate of hepatic clearance of microbial metabolites between pre-hepatic (portal venous) and post-hepatic (hepatic venous) blood samples in relation to hepatic gene expression of phase I and phase II biotransformation enzymes in a research liver biopsy.
