Liver Viability Testing During Machine Perfusion

This research review article examines methods for assessing liver viability before transplantation, focusing on machine perfusion techniques. The authors discuss various parameters, such as lactate levels, transaminases, and bile production, used to determine organ suitability. A key focus is on mitochondrial function, particularly the release of flavin mononucleotide (FMN), as a predictor of organ health. Different machine perfusion methods (normothermic […]
