Figure 5

Correlations (r) between retained peripheral cells (RPCs) per 20 high powered fields (HPF) and corresponding perfusion parameters of liver function/injury. Red: RT LR flush livers with no SCS (n = 4). Blue: cold UW flush livers with SCS (n = 2). Orange: RT LR flush livers with SCS (n = 4). Green: No flush livers with SCS (n = 4). Black lines: fits of linear regression with 1,12 degrees of freedom (DFn, DFd). (A) Intrahepatic resistance, (B) lactate, (C) perfusate potassium, and (D) energy charge at 6 h of NMP versus RPCs within liver graft at 6 h of NMP. Significance level p < 0.05.
