Elevated alanine aminotransferase (<scp>ALT</scp>) in the deceased donor: impact on early post‐transplant liver allograft function

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels are frequently elevated with liver injury and such elevations are common in deceased organ donors. The impact of this injury on early liver allograft function has not been well described. This study analyses the immediate function and 1-year graft and patient survival for liver allografts stratified by peak serum ALT levels in the deceased donor....
