Abstract

Background Early patient and allograft survival after liver transplantation (LT) depend primarily on parenchymal function, but long-term allograft success relies often on biliary-tree function. We examined parameters related to cholangiocyte damage that predict poor long-term LT outcomes after donation after brain death (DBD). Methods Sixty bile ducts (BD) were assessed by a BD damage-score ...
