Ischemia-Reperfuson Injury and Oxidative Damage in Human Liver Transplantation
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The aim of this study was to evaluate oxygen-dependent hepatic injury in human being following liver transplantation. Total 30 patients underwent liver transplantation. Blood samples were taken at different stages of transplantation for determination of the levels of serum lipid peroxide and serum nitric oxide. It was observed that the level of serum lipid peroxide and serum nitric oxide increased maximum at the stage of reperfusion than that of pre-reperfusion and post-reperfusion stages. These findings indicate that significant generation of ROS during I/R injury plays crucial role in the pathogenesis of liver damage in human liver transplantation.
