The Deleterious Effect of Donor High Plasma Sodium and Extended Preservation in Liver Transplantation

Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the donor risk factors associated with second orthotopic liver transplantation (reOLT) and graft loss after OLT within 1 month. A total of 649 OLTs performed in 11 centers in Spain during the period from 1992 to 1993 were analyzed retrospectively. Eleven donor and recipient variables were studied. Biochemical evolution of the OLT, biliary and arterial complications, patient status (alive, retransplanted, or dead), and follow-up were also recorded. Bivariate study demonstrat… Show more

“…Cold storage of livers for more than 12 to 18 h carried the risk for graft failure [31][32][33][34] and post-transplantation infection [35] . In recent years, preconditioning has been used to prolong hepatic cold ischemia [6,[36][37][38] .…”

“…The introduction of the University of Wisconsin solution more than 10 years ago extended the time of cold storage between harvesting and transplantation. 1,2 Preservation of livers before transplantation for more than 12 to 18 hours still carries the risk for compromising the function of the future graft, [3][4][5][6] and favors posttransplantation infection. 7 One of the most promising strategies that lengthens the time of cold ischemia without risking reperfusion injury is preconditioning.…”

“…Both ABO incompatibility and donor plasma sodium > 155 mmol·L -1 have been independently associated with an increased rate of recipient death and retransplantation. 125 In a series of 168 liver transplants, a high donor serum sodium concentration, longer cold ischemia time, large platelet transfusion during surgery and prolonged recipient prothrombin time were independently associated with more severe hepatic dysfunction after transplantation. 126 High donor serum sodium concentrations may promote the accumulation of idiogenic osmoles within liver allograft cells.…”
