Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the ability of Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) to resuscitate moderately steatotic livers for transplantation in patients. This will be a single-site clinical trial placing donor livers with 30-60% macrosteatosis on NMP, and then transplanting those that meet commonly accepted viability criteria. The results of this study could lead to a trial extending NMP transplantation to severely steatotic livers, further expanding the donor organ pool.

Primary Outcome

Number of participants with initial poor function of liver allograft: measured by presence of 1 or more of the following: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level higher than 2000 IU/L (to convert to microkatals per liter, multiply by 0.0167) within the first 7 postoperative days; bilirubin 10 mg/dL or higher (to convert to micromoles per liter, multiply by 17.104) on postoperative day 7; international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.6 or higher on postoperative day 7; or graft primary nonfunction wit
