| Summary: | Deceased organ donation consists of both donation after circulatory death (CD) and donation after brain death (BD). The majority of liver transplants (~80%) involve organs from BD donors, with 4–20% originating from CD donors. Both CD and BD result in significant hemodynamic alterations, mesenteric microcirculation hypoperfusion, and warm hepatic ischemia, culminating in inflammation and cell damage, ultimately leading to deleterious effects on the liver grafts used for transplantation. |
