Hemodynamic Effects of High-dose Levothyroxine and Methylprednisolone in Brain-dead Potential Organ Donors

Conclusions. High-dose methylprednisolone alone or in combination with levothyroxine allowed for significant reduction in vasopressor support in organ donors. Levothyroxine alone offered no advantage in reducing vasopressor support. Organ yield, transplantation rates, and recipient outcomes were not adversely affected.
