Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Tacrolimus added to histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution given through intraportal and intraarterial infusion during back-table procedure is capable of reducing the degree of early allograft liver dysfunction, as assessed by postoperative levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), during first 7 postoperative days and by serum and histochemical markers of liver injury and inflammation.


Clinical Trial Description

Early allograft liver dysfunction remains a significant complication of cadaveric liver transplantation with resource consuming and costly treatment, increased risk of multiorgan failure and 6-months mortality.

Ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) is a main reason for early allograft liver dysfunction. Inflammatory response to brain death in donor can precipitate the extent of dysfunction after reperfusion in recipient (1). Clear inflammatory pathways in response to IRI have been reported to be associated with early allograft liver dysfunction (2,3). It was shown that ex vivo intraportal tacrolimus perfusion suppressed inflammation and immune response in the transplanted liver on a genome-wide basis (4).

We hypothesize that Tacrolimus added to HTK solution given through intraportal and intraarterial back-table infusion is capable of reducing the degree of early allograft liver dysfunction, as assessed by incidence of postreperfusion hyperfibrinolysis, postoperative levels of AST,ALT, during 1-7 postoperative days as well as serum and histochemical markers of liver injury and inflammation compared to no intraportal and intraarterial back-table infusion. ;
