Bile Biochemistry Following Liver Reperfusion in the Recipient and Its Association With Cholangiopathy

Rohit Gaurav, Niroshan Atulugama, Lisa Swift, Andrew J. Butler, Sara Upponi, Rebecca Brais, Michael Allison, Christopher J. E. Watson – 28 February 2020 – Cholangiocytes secrete bicarbonate and absorb glucose, producing bile with alkaline pH and low glucose content. These functions of cholangiocytes have been suggested as a marker of bile duct viability during normothermic ex situ liver perfusion, and they are now monitored routinely after reperfusion in our center.

LiverLearning®: 2020 Webinar: Implementation Science of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs)
