Elevated levels of circulating mitochondrial DNA predict early allograft dysfunction in patients following liver transplantation
23 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The role of circulating mitochondrial DNA (cmtDNA) in transplantation remains to be elucidated. cmtDNA may be released into the circulation as a consequence of liver injury; yet recent work also suggests a causative role for cmtDNA leading to hepatocellular injury. We hypothesized that elevated cmtDNA would be associated with adverse events after liver transplantation (LT) and conducted an...
