Core Tip |
The use of a “high risk” organ (i.e., steatosis graft) bears the risk of poor graft and patient survival. It is commonly recommended to use marginal and steatotic grafts in recipients who are in a relatively good clinical condition (i.e., MELD scores < 20) and avoid using them for fulminant or end-stage liver failure. In the presented case of a young female with acute liver failure, the use of a “high risk” graft (partial liver with approximately 40% macrovesicular steatosis) resulted in an excellent short and long term outcome. She survived immunosuppression weaning without any neurological sequelae after the auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation.
