Purpose of Review The purpose of this review was to summarise how machine perfusion could contribute to viability assessment of donor livers. Recent Findings In both hypothermic and normothermic machine perfusion, perfusate transaminase measurement has allowed pretransplant assessment of hepatocellular damage. Hypothermic perfusion permits transplantation of marginal grafts but as yet has not...

Liver transplantation (LT) remains the only curative option for patients suffering from end-stage liver disease, acute failure and selected hepatocellular carcinomas access to LT-waiting list is limited certain strict indications. However, LT has shown survival advantages in indications such as alcoholic hepatitis, carcinoma outside Milan criteria colorectal cancer metastases. These newer incre...

The aim of this work is to evaluate diagnostic value liver non-contrast perfusion in prediction visceropathies (sialadenitis and hepatic encephalopathy) patients with diffuse diseases (DLD). Clinical laboratory data (including the Raitan test), results MRI MR (ASL-perfusion) brain assessment head neck soft tissues were estimated a group DLD. Potentials ASL for encephalopathy sialadenitis are de...

The perfusion of liver with either citrate or tetraphenyl boron to remove Ca or K+ or with a solution of high osmolarity and alkaline pH yields plenty of cells but they are all damaged. Perfusion of the liver with hyaluronidase and collagenase followed by incubation of liver slices in the same enzyme solution produced a high yield of cells (25 %, w/w, of liver) of which only about 1 % were unda...
