Glycocalyx During Normothermic Machine Perfusion

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

An organ intended for transplantation is normally stored on ice (cold storage, CS) after explantation from the donor. During this storage process, damage to the endothelial glycocalyx occurs. It is known from numerous studies that the integrity of the endothelial glycocalyx is necessary for organ function. Normothermic machine perfusion is an alternative storage method for explanted livers, where the graft is perfused with warm blood. This study aims to clarify the influence of normothermic machine perfusion on endothelial glycocalyx damage of the graft.

Conditions

  • Glycocalyx
  • Liver Transplantation

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Heparansulfate and Syndecan 1

Blood samples will be collected from the patient at 5 different time points. Three perfusate samples will be collected during normothermic machine perfusion (4,9ml each).
