Ischemic-Type Biliary Lesions After Liver Transplant: Factors Causing Early-Onset Versus Late-Onset Disease.

CONCLUSIONS: This study serves as a supplement to current data and the understanding of ischemic-type biliary lesions with emphasis on the relevance of disease onset and causes. We could in fact determine transfusion of blood products as a determinant of an early onset of ischemic-type biliary lesion. Bilirubin could be a surrogate marker for ischemic-type biliary lesions, especially in its early-onset form.
