The histologic diagnosis of acute hepatic allograft rejection is usually based upon the identification of characteristic portal tract features. In addition to these, centrilobular alterations such as central vein endothelialitis, zone 3 inflammation, and hepatocyte necrosis may also be seen during e

Chronic hepatic allograft rejection is characterized by the histological findings of ductopenia and a decreased number of hepatic arteries in portal tracts in the presence of foam cell (obliterative) arteriopathy. Recent studies have extended the histological spectrum of chronic rejection to include
The influence of crossmatching in liver transplantation is still controversial, and at present, our unit does not alter management according to the result of standard lymphocytotoxicity testing. This study retrospectively assessed outcome of grafts transplanted in the presence of preformed antidonor
In contrast with other vascularized allografts, chronic liver allograft rejection is uncommon. Over the last two decades, the incidence at 5 years after transplantation has decreased from 15% to 20% in the 1980s to an expected incidence of 3% to 5% in current liver allograft recipients. 1 This is li
