Shridhar Vasantrao Sasturkar, Paul David, Shreya Sharma, Shiv Kumar Sarin, Nirupama Trehanpati, Viniyendra Pamecha – 24 November 2015 – Cytokines and growth factors have prominent roles in liver regeneration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological markers of liver regeneration in healthy donors undergoing right lobe donor hepatectomy for living donor liver transplantation. Twenty‐five voluntary liver donors were enrolled. Peripheral blood samples were taken a day before the operation and on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 3, 7, 14, and 42.
