Predictive value of frozen-section analysis in the histological assessment of steatosis before liver transplantation

Abstract: Histological quality assessment of donated livers is a key factor for extending the cadaveric donor pool for liver transplantation. We retrospectively compared frozen-section analysis with routine histological permanent slides and the outcomes of grafts in liver biopsies from 294 candidate donors. The concordance coefficient of agreement between frozen-section analysis and routine histological analysis was very good for macrosteatosis ( ‫؍‬ 0.934), microsteatosis ( ‫؍‬ 0.828), and total steatosis ( ‫؍‬ 0.814).… Show more

“…If a significant accumulation of artifacts are present and are misinterpreted, they could result in the exclusion of an otherwise acceptable organ. 30 Supplemental methods of lipid evaluation at the time of frozen section have been examined in an attempt to mitigate the potential of confounding artifacts. Although oil red O increases the amount of fat visualized, it has its drawbacks, including artifacts (staining of sinusoids as well as vacuoles) and its lack of availability at the time of frozen section.…”

“…Los beneficios de la biopsia deben ser evaluados cuidadosamente teniendo en cuenta todos los factores de riesgo tanto del donante como del posible receptor y de las consideraciones éticas basadas en la justicia, la equidad y la necesidad del trasplante, utilizando un órgano considerado como marginal (4). Los criterios para la aceptación o rechazo de un órgano de donante marginal varían de país a país y en cada centro transplantador, no hay consenso, ni algoritmos estrictos o bien definidos; algunas de las recomendaciones en relación con la biopsia intraoperatoria son las que revisaremos en este artículo.…”

“…El conocimiento de la duda que generó el estudio debe ser informado al pató-logo, ya que facilita el estudio e interpretación de los hallazgos, en especial el conocimiento de la inspección visual y palpación del hígado durante el procedimiento quirúrgico, aun cuando es bien conocido que es un dato subjetivo y depende de la experiencia del cirujano (4,5).…”
