Presence of Macro-steatosis In Vivo Determined the Survival Status of Rats after Liver Transplantation.

We read with great interests on the paper by Croome et al on phenomenon of reversal on macrosteatosis (MaS) for grafts after implantation in vivo for 7 days [1]. According to the sequential biopsies, the authors revealled most MaS grafts were reversed to absence of steatosis in early phase after LT. And this status was maintained in long-term follow up duration (six months). The authors didn't report the differentiated impact of MaS/non-MaS on post-transplant outcomes, although the existence of MaS was still remained in some samples (three in one week and five in six months after LT).
