Assessing warm ischemic injury of pig livers at hypothermic machine perfusion

Livers originating from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors are exposed to warm ischemia (WI) before liver transplantation (LTx). Currently, there are no objective tests to evaluate the damage sustained before LTx. This study aims to identify surrogate markers for liver injury that can be assessed during hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) preservation. In addition, we want to use mathematical equation modeling combining these markers to improve our assessment of DCD livers for transplantation.
