Presentation
Video length: 54 minutes
Overview
This presentation will discuss the complex factors that determine liver-graft eligibility from both a surgeon’s and pathologist’s perspectives. The microscopic examination of the donor liver biopsy will be reviewed with a focus on improving concordance for estimating steatosis in the donor biopsy.
Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the transplant surgeon’s perspective in determining appropriate graft procurement.
- Examine the role the pathologist plays in determining procurement of livers adequate for transplantation.
- Identify common definitions for reporting steatosis in the donor liver biopsy evaluation.
- Describe how guideline images can improve concordance between pathologists for estimating steatosis in the donor liver biopsy.
Intended Audience
This program is appropriate for clinicians, pathologists, and midlevel providers involved in liver transplant.
