Highlights |
• | Biliary calprotectin, dimeric pyruvate kinase and lactoferrin are early markers for irreversible, progressive biliary damage after liver transplantation. |
Summary |
Background |
After liver transplantation (LT), biliary complications are associated with reduced graft survival. We tested inflammation markers for their association with biliary damage and graft loss in bile.
Material and methods |
The study design was a retrospective case-control study. Calprotectin, lactoferrin and pyruvate kinase were measured in endoscopically retrieved bile with ELISA.
Results |
Calprotectin and lactoferrin were significantly higher in bile of ischemic-type biliary lesions and donor duct non-anastomotic strictures than in control, bile leakage, Cytomegalovirus infection, anastomotic stricture or acute cellular rejection patients (p<0.001) independent of serum liver values at endoscopy. Calprotectin (p=0.02) was independently associated with retransplantation free survival in multivariate analysis, as was γGT (p=0.03) but not ERC radiographic classification of the bile duct or cold ischemia time.
Conclusion |
Calprotectin and lactoferrin are bile markers for biliary damage and are associated with re-transplantation free survival. They can differentiate progressive biliary damage from non-biliary liver value alterations after LT.
