The results of reduced-size liver transplantation, including split livers, in patients with end-stage liver disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cold ischemia-reperfusion injury is unavoidable during organ transplantation, and prolonged preservation is associated with poorer function recovery. Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is an IL-6 family cytokine with cytoprotective properties. This preclinical study in rats tested whether CT-1 mitigates cold renal ische...
