A rather elusive topic in the posttransplant setting remains the impact of the underlying disease process and donor lungs on other organ systems and the complications arising from the complex physiologic interactions. The liver represents a vital organ often impacted in many ways by the lung transplant procedure. Also, there is a higher likelihood of adverse outcomes in OLT recipients who have significant liver pathology.

In this study we retrospectively reviewed liver pathology cases obtained after the patient received an OLT.</p><p><strong>Methods and results: </strong>Histology was reviewed by three pathologists and evaluated with a standardized checklist format. In our cohort, we found morphologic features of hepatic injury in the form of vascular outflow obstruction, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, portal vessel changes, and steatosis/steatohepatitis, but there was a striking absence of advanced fibrosis in our cohort.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Here we present the first comprehensive account of morphologic changes in livers of post-OLT patients. We believe that this information will aid clinical decision-making during monitoring of hepatic function and fibrosis in patients with OLT and other complex pulmonary diagnoses.</p>","PeriodicalId":13219,"journal":{"name":"Histopathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143004769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
