Highlights ■ Logistical factors were not responsible for most organ rejections in the single national waiting list. ■ Refusal information was operator dependent, as the reason for refusal was generic in most cases. ■ It is possible to increase the use of organs offered to the National Transplant Center by converting more offers into transplants performed through a more detailed study of the reasons for refusal. ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the outcomes and reasons for the refusal of organs offered […]

ABSTRACT Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a pathophysiological event occuring after abdominal organ transplantation, and has a significant influence on prognosis and survival of the graft. It is involved in delaying the primary function or non-functioning of the graft. The objective of this study was to provide information on heat shock protein mechanisms in ischemia-reperfusion injuries in abdominal organ transplantations, and to indicate the possible factors involved that may influence the graft outcome. Several classes of heat shock proteins are part of […]
