BACKGROUND: A potential mechanism of the infection would be an infected donor, contamination at the time of the infusion and/or packaging, back-table procedure, and finally during the transplantation, all are potential sources of infection. The aim of our study is to analyze the incidence and significance of infection in the preservation solution according with the graft temperature. The second aim was to analyze the impact graft temperature on the clinical infections and the ischemia reperfusion injury. METHODS: Sixteen donors were prospectively included in this study, including 9 males and 7 females. The liver graft temperature monitoring shows variation in four different phases: at the harvesting beginning, before the graft packaging, at the beginning of the backtable, at the end of the backtable. RESULTS: There was no correlation between the functionality of the graft and the temperature of the perfusion fluid. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, we did not found a correlation between graft temperature, culture of the preservation solution and early post-transplant follow up.
