Liver News - University of Birmingham

[Richard-Allen]

I like to share some news that I come across from time to time.

Here is a recent news article from the University of Birmingham which talks about the enormous contribution that the Liver Profusion Machine has made in the use of unviable livers. This machine was trialled over six years ago at both Addenbrookes and at the QE. It is now in general use.

When this machine was first commissioned into service, it was found to place an enormous strain on blood reserves. This has now been rectified and over come with the machine now being able to use synthetic blood.

This of course is really good news for those who are already on the liver transplant waiting list as it means that more livers can be used in the future, that would otherwise have been labelled unsuitable: birmingham.ac.uk/news/lates...
