Eligibility Criteria

Age 18+ · All Participants · 10 Total Inclusion Criteria

Mark “Yes” if the following statements are true for you:
Grafts that meet the following criteria may be transplanted, at the discretion of the transplant surgeon: they must be safe and appropriate for the individual recipient.
The expanded criteria for donation after neurological determination of death (NDD) may include livers that have ≥60% macro/micro steatosis, cold ischemia time of > 10 hours, combined steatosis of 30-60% and >6hr cold storage, and significant liver trauma.
A graft that is evenly perfused will have a more consistent blood flow and will be less likely to fail.
The pH of the perfusate was stable within the normal range after bicarbonate correction.
People who are at least 18 years old and are on the waiting list for a liver transplant at the University of Alberta Hospital can either choose to take part in the study or decline
The text discusses the donation of livers from deceased donors
Donor livers will be placed on the metra™ device either at the donor hospital, or transported to the University of Alberta hospital
The portal vein flow is normal and the artery flow is stable.
The new expanded criteria for livers donated after cardio-circulatory death (DCD) may include livers from people aged up to 75, with mild steatosis (30%), and offers from distant centres
