Introduction: Liver grafts with limited steatosis are currently used for liver transplantation, but the natural history of graft steatosis is not well known. Project Aims or Questions: This program evaluation aimed at assessing changes of steatosis after liver transplantation. Design: A retrospective chart review was performed assessing presence and severity of steatosis in the liver explant and in time zero donor graft biopsies carried out at the time-point of liver transplantation on histopathology and on imaging one year thereafter in 30 well characterized patients. Results: Ten patients (33%) showed steatosis on explant. Time zero biopsy revealed steatosis in 18 grafts (60%) and no steatosis in 12 (40%). One year after transplantation, 8 patients (27%) had steatosis and 22 patients (63%) had none. Fourteen patients (47%) showed changes in steatosis: 12 showed resolution and 2 showed de novo steatosis. Explant macrovesicular steatosis was associated with presence of steatosis 1 year after transplantation (binary logistic regression model, p = 0.014), but not macrovesicular steatosis in the donor graft at time-point of transplantation. Conclusion: Resolution of graft steatosis was frequent. Presence of steatosis in the recipient's liver, but not graft steatosis, was a risk factor for steatosis 1 year after transplantation. Factors related to the recipient seem to prevail over donor-related factors in determining the persistence or de novo appearance of steatosis after liver transplantation.
