Effect of pure microsteatosis on transplant outcomes after living donor liver transplantation: A matched case‐control study
Sangbin Han, Justin Sangwook Ko, Gheeyoung Kwon, Cheolkeun Park, Sanghoon Lee, Jongman Kim, Gaabsoo Kim, Choonhyuck David Kwon, Misook Gwak, Sangyun Ha – 14 January 2014 – Liver steatosis mostly exists in a mixed form of macrosteatosis (MaS) and microsteatosis (MiS). This coexistence is responsible for previous conflicting results regarding the importance of MiS in liver transplantation. We aimed to evaluate the independent effect of MiS on posttransplant outcomes with the exclusion of the confounding effect of MaS.
