Time to make liver transplantation more accessible.
Another factor that leads to liver transplant failure or restricts the age of a transplanted liver is related toof an enzyme called transaminases. This enzyme is important for normal liver functioning and for removing toxins from the human body. During their study, the researchers found that livers from old age donors have low levels of transaminases, making them more compatible and long-lasting as compared to the grafts from young age donors.
This could be the reason why the donors of the centurion were mostly individuals aged over 80 years. The researchers also reveal that the MELD score, which is used to determine the possibility of chronic liver disease, is also low for old livers. It was 17 in the case of centurion livers and 22 for livers that were donated by people with an average age of around 38 years., "We previously tended to shy away from using livers from older donors.
