Abstract

In December 1994 an orthotopic liver transplantation was performed in a 46-year old female patient with liver failure due to primary biliary cirrhosis. The patient was discharged on the 31-st postoperative day. The graft was obtained at the multi-organ harvesting. The results of the donor's biochemical tests and the histological estimation of the graft tissue allowed to prognose a successful postoperative course.
