Description
Hada Macher and co-authors published this study in 2025. It tests whether loose DNA floating in the blood can flag trouble after a liver transplant. This cell-free DNA spills from injured tissue, so its level may reflect how well the new liver survived the move.
The team measured the DNA in 115 transplant patients, starting during surgery and through the first month. Patients whose levels ran high in the first hours went on to suffer more liver damage and complications. They also stayed longer in intensive care and died more often. Long storage times for the donated organ, both cold and warm, went with higher early levels. The authors propose the test as an early warning tool to guide closer care.
