5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Continuous biochemical monitoring of donor livers may enhance assessment before transplantation.

• 2

  A new point-of-care monitoring platform measures pH, glucose, and lactate continuously during liver perfusion.

• 3

  The system transmits results wirelessly, allowing uninterrupted preservation of donor organs.

• 4

  Simultaneous analysis of perfusion fluid and bile provides a broader biochemical picture of liver health.

• 5

  The study indicates that continuous monitoring could enable earlier recognition of unfavorable trends in liver function.
