Clinicopathological observation and analysis of donor liver and biopsy in liver transplantation / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between histopathological changes of donor liver and those after liver transplantation and explore its effects on prognosis.Methods The histopathological changes of donor liver and post-transplantation live biopsy were observed in 87 cases.Results The percentage of hepatic degeneration at immediate biopsy of donor liver was 100%,the injury of sinusoid endothelial cell accounted for 41.3%,the hepatic steatosis for 18.3%and the necrosis of liver cells for 10.3%.Conclusion Most of the pathological changes of the donor liver during and after liver transplantation are reversible.The damage of the hepatic sinusoidal cells is the important criterion for the observation of ischemia reperfusion injury.Moderate and heavy hepatic steatosis can be used in the liver transplantation. After liver transplantation,if the necrosis of liver cells gradually gets serious,the risk of transplanted liver losing its function gets bigger,so the comparative observation has very important value in diagnosis.
