Extended-donor criteria liver allografts SEMINARS IN LIVER DISEASE Alkofer, B., Samstein, B., Guarrera, J. V., Kin, C., Jan, D., Bellemare, S., Kinkhabwala, M., Brown, R., Emond, J. C., Renz, J. F. 2006; 26 (3): 221-233

Abstract

Extended-donor criteria liver allografts do not meet traditional criteria for transplantation. Although these organs offer immediate expansion of the donor pool, transplantation of extended-donor criteria liver allografts increases potential short- and long-term risk to the recipient. This risk may manifest as impaired allograft function or donor-transmitted disease. Guidelines defining this category of donor, level of acceptable risk, principles of consent, and post-transplantation surveillance have not been defined. This article reviews the utilization, ethical considerations, and outcomes of extended-donor criteria liver allografts.
