Cholestatic and Autoimmune Liver Diseases

The Cholestatic and Autoimmune Liver Diseases Special Interest Group (SIG) is an international community of investigators and practitioner focusing on preventing diagnosing and treating cholestatic liver diseases, as well as diseases of the biliary tree (cholangiopathies). The SIG also strongly focuses on understanding the pathophysiology and on the genetics of cholestatic and biliary diseases as a way to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Donor eligibility criteria and liver graft acceptance criteria during normothermic regional perfusion: A systematic review

Ivo J. Schurink, Fenna E. M. Leemkolk, Constantino Fondevila, Riccardo De Carlis, Eric Savier, Gabriel C. Oniscu, Volkert A. L. Huurman, Jeroen Jonge – 22 May 2022 – Acceptance of liver grafts from donations after circulatory death (DCD) largely remains a “black box,” particularly due to the unpredictability of the agonal phase. Abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (aNRP) can reverse ischemic injury early during the procurement procedure, and it simultaneously enables graft viability testing to unravel this black box.
