Elevated Plasma Levels of Mitochondria-Derived Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns during Liver Transplantation: Predictors for Postoperative Multi-Organ Dysfunction Syndrome.

In conclusion, mtDAMPs were increased in plasma during liver transplantation in most recipients. This elevation was not associated with mortality, but associated with the post-transplant recovery. Measuring plasma mtDAMPs may be helpful for predicting posttransplant recovery among liver-transplant recipients.
