Because of organ shortage and a constant imbalance between available organs and candidates for liver transplantation, expanded criteria donors are needed. Experience shows that there are wide variations in the definitions, selection criteria, and use of expanded criteria donors according to differen
donors excluded in group I had acceptable MEGX values indicating they may have been transplantable. Ten of 12 patients excluded in groups II B-D had normal LFT's and nine of 12 had acceptable MEGX values indicating they may have been transplantable also.
