Objective To evaluate the impact of steatotic hepatic grafts on postoperative early liver function and prognosis.Methods Clinical data of 35 cases receiving steatotic liver grafts in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The donor liver grafts were divided into 3 groups based on the degree of fatty infiltration(＜20%group,20%～40%group,≥40%group).Results were compared with that from control normal grafts(41 cases).Liver function parameters including AST,ALT,TB,PT on the day of surgery and 1,2,3,7 days later were monitored among the 4 groups,as well as the incidence of delayed nonfunction (DNF),and 3 and 6 months patient survival rate.Analysis of the correlation between degree of donor steatosis and liver function after operation was carried out.Resuits There was significant difference in postoperative ALT、AST、TB、PT level between≥40%group and 20%～40%group,and between 20%～40%and group＜20%group.There was no significant difference among the groups in DNF occurrence rate and 3 month.6 month patient survival rate.Correlation analysis suggested that the degree of donor steatosis was positively correlated with the damage of liver function.Conclusions Grafts with≤20% steatosis was safe,whereas≥20% especially ≥40% steatosis carries a high risk of posttransplant liver dysfunction even delayed nonfunction.
