Novel Real-time Prediction of Liver Graft Function During Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion Before Liver Transplantation

The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of machine perfusate analysis on graft outcome.Ex situ machine perfusion (MP) is gaining increasing interest to potentially repair injured organs and to assess organ function. In the field of liver transplantation, however, no studies exist on reliable prediction of graft function during MP.We have used hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) for donation after circulatory death (DCD)...
