Japanese national survey on declined liver allografts from brain-dead donors: High decline rate but promising outcomes in allografts with moderate steatosis.

Pathological abnormalities of steatosis/fibrosis seem to be the most common donor factor leading to graft decline in Japan. Allografts with moderate steatosis were highly declined; however, transplanted ones achieved promising outcomes. This national survey highlights the potential utility of liver allografts with moderate steatosis.
