title: [Resumption of function of the liver graft. Controlled comparative study of UW solution and SLF Cochin].
abstract: Nowadays the UW solution is usually used in liver transplantation for graft preservation. The importance of each of its components has not been fully resolved. The omission of some of the components does not result in poor hepatic function. The aim of this controlled study was to assess the early graft function (ALAT, factor V and total bilirubin at days 1, 2, 3 and 6) after use of the UW solution and SLF Cochin. SLF Cochin is a modified UW solution without hydroxyethyl starch, adenosine, penicillin, dexamethazone and allopurinol. No significant difference was observed in the early graft function between the two solutions for a cold ischemia time below 15 hours. Considering the qualities of the SLF Cochin and its three fold lower cost, it is concluded that the use of the SLF Cochin solution is justified for liver transplantation in which foreseeable cold ischemia time is less than 15 hours.
