Popis: BACKGROUND: When compared with cadaveric grafts (Cad), the potential advantages of pediatric orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) from living-related (LR) donors may include better graft quality, shorter ischemic time, appropriate preparation of the recipient, and better immunologic compatibility. METHODS: The aim of this study was to analyze early hepatocyte, endothelial, and bile duct cell injury following pediatric OLT using LR (n=15) or uncomplicated Cad reduced-size (n=10) grafts. Median (range) total ischemic times were 190 min (105-261) versus 760 min (418-948) in LR and Cad groups, respectively (P
