Evaluation of Graft Effluent High Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB-1) for Prediction of Outcome After Liver Transplantation.

CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the feasibility of HMGB-1 detection in the graft effluent after cold storage. Along with conventional prognostic scores, it may be helpful to predict the early fate of a graft in human liver transplantation.
