Abstract:
The lack of organ donors is a major obstacle against the application of liver transplantation.Recently,how to expand the source of liver donors has become a focus of transplantation research.The use of marginal donor may help solve current dilemma between the increasing waiting recipients and the relatively few donors.However,marginal donors always comes with elevated risk of primary nonfunction,initial poor function,delayed graft function loss and infection.Research on risk factors and complication preventing strategies of marginal donor transplantation is important in improving our understanding of liver transplantation.In the present article,we summarized recent progress in the research of marginal donors.And based on the experience from our center,we believe that the use of marginal donors in liver transplantation may help improve the situation of donor shortage,and isehemia-reperfusion injury remains the core topic of marginal donor transplantation and represents the direction of future study.
