Research advance on the application of preconditioning in DCD liver transplantation during perioperative period / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage liver diseases.To expand the donor source,the Ministry of Health (MOH) initiated a new national program called Donation of Citizen's Deceased (DCD) to address the need for organ transplantation in 2010.However,it has been proven that DCD liver transplantation has the poorer graft function in short-and long-term outcome compared to live donor liver transplantation.In order to improve the effect of DCD liver transplantation,the preconditioning of DCD liver,as an effective measure,is gaining more and more attention.This review summarizes the recent research progress on the application of preconditioning in DCD liver transplantation during perioperative period.
