The presence of donor liver granuloma requiring further workup to rule out parasitic disease

چکیده
A shortage of donor organs is a major limitation to liver transplantation. Expansion of donor pool criteria to include patients with schistosomiasis diagnosed on liver biopsy might allow the allocation of more transplant livers. Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease affecting millions in endemic areas including sub-Sahara Africa that might lead to the development of granulomas as a response to the parasite's ova and might cause chronic liver disease and portal hypertension. Due to increased mobility globally, schistosomiasis may be encountered in non-endemic areas. Currently, the usage of donor livers with known Schistosomiasis is not universally defined.
