| Research Abstract |
As a result of the international cooperative study with the transplantation centers in advanced countries, Redox theory has been proven to be useful in the field of liver transplantation. In the preoperative stage, estimation of donor liver viability before procurement has been performed by means of arterial ketone body ratio (AKBR), and the higher is the valve of AKBR, the more viable is the donor liver. In the operative stage, operative stress has been measured by means of AKBR, and operative techniques have been refined to minimize the stress. In the postoperative stage, AKBR can be the indicator of early graft survival and inadequate recovery of AKBR after operation means the inadequate function of the transplanted graft, and retransplant should be performed. All these results were integrated in the living related partial liver transplantations, which are performed in our department, and 29 cases have already been operated successfully since June, 1990.
Thus, in both fields of hepatic surgery and liver transplantaion, Redox theory is widely applied and successful results have been made.
