Markers of hepatocellular and biliary viability during perfusion.

Lactate clearance in the perfusate pH homeostasis (without requiring ongoing bicarbonate supplementation) Stable hepatic artery and portal vein flow dynamics Decreasing transaminase levels Decreasing glucose Bile production Bile glucose <3 mmol/l or 10 mmol less than perfusate glucose Biliary bicarbonate concentration >18 mmol/lwith pH >7.5 Biliary lactate dehyrogenase concentration <3.7 U/l
