Organ disposition

• The liver was successfully transplanted into a 48-year-old woman with chronic liver failure from hepatitis C.

• The kidneys were not transplanted due to the irreversibility of the existing prerenal failure.

• The cardiologic evaluation revealed a low ejection fraction and therefore the heart was unsuitable for transplant.

• The lungs were not transplanted due to the Gram's stain results and large amounts of purulent secretions found during the bronchoscopy.

• The pancreas was not transplanted due to abnormally high glucose levels created by the need for extensive rehydration to correct significantly elevated sodium levels.
