"The shortage of donor livers has led to increased utilization of steatotic marginal livers. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) uses the principles of electric current flows through tissue, with less resistance offered if the water content is high and the opposite in the presence of fat," researchers in Birmingham, the United Kingdom report (see also Bioengineering).
"Our hypothesis was that liver steatosis would result in an increased resistance to current flow, and correlate with the degree of liver steatosis. Before studying cadaveric donor livers for transplantation, this study was performed in patients undergoing liver resection. A total of 37 patients ...
