Racial disparities in living kidney donation: is there a lack of willing donors or an excess of medically unsuitable candidates?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Intrahepatic bile duct strictures are a serious complication after non-heart-beating (NHB) liver transplantation. Bile salt toxicity has been identified as an important factor in the pathogenesis of bile duct injury and cholangiopathies. The role of bile salt toxicity in the development of biliary strictures...
