Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Liver biopsy is a gold standard for assessing steatosis in deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) but not always possible. Bioelectrical impedance (BI) analysis is noninvasive, reproducible method that might helpful for assessing steatosis. We analyzed the correlation between BI and Histopathology. BI at 100 kHz frequency was ranged from 96.6 to 201.6 Ω. The mean amount of liver cholesterol was 3.0±0.2 mg/g and the triglyceride was 20.9±11.9 mg/g. BI was correlated with amount of liver triglyceride (R=0.7, p <0.01). BI showed positive correlation with liver fat content, and pathological findings but not significant. We need more severe fatty liver to analyze. BI analysis is a simple, noninvasive method that could easily be applicable in evaluation of the liver quality in DDLT.
