Brain Dead Donor

Transplant surgeons are currently faced with the challenge to accept marginal liver transplants due to steatosis or old age. Improving organ quality by implementing a selective organ protective donor management could be the first step towards a graft of enhanced quality. However, the molecular mechanisms of such treatments are still poorly understood. Glucocorticoid medication in donor medicine has been carried out and discussed for a long time. In a recent study published in Clinical Science, Jiménez-Castro et al. [Clin. Sci. (2017) 131, 733-746] demonstrate how liver histology and transplant liver function can be improved by administration of glucocorticoids to brain-dead donor rats with steatotic livers. This work illustrates the need for further trials in order to selectively improve the quality of steatotic livers with a potential for liver transplantation.

Marginal Donors

The use of marginal/extended criteria for organ donors is a solution to the problem of organ donors shortage, and since its use has become more common worldwide, concerns on the effectiveness of such organs and the outcomes of the liver transplantation (LT) have been raised. In spite of the importance of the term, there is no consensus on the features of the marginal donors. Some parameters related to the features of those donors were found to have negative consequences: increasing donor or recipient age, longer cold ischemia time, hypotension and inotropic support, gender mismatch, after cardiac death donation, hearts that stopped beating, non-heart-beating donors, and macrosteatosis. This paper discusses some controversial issues found in the literature, and shares our experience related to the use of marginal/extended criteria of donor in liver transplantation.
