Evaluation of Graft Effluent High Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB-1) for Prediction of Outcome After Liver Transplantation

摘要

BackgroundPre-transplant assessment of the graft for liver transplantation is crucial. Based on experimental data, this study was designed to assess both nuclear high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) protein and arginine-specific proteolytic activity (ASPA) in the graft effluent.
