Liver transplantion

Liver transplantation is essential for treating end-stage liver disease (1)
However, postoperative complications, such as

• hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI)


• graft dysfunction


• rejection


• bloodstream infection


• biliary infection


• multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization


• metabolic disturbances

remain major obstacles to long-term survival (1,2)
