Banff consensus recommendations for steatosis assessment in donor livers.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

No consensus criteria or approaches exist regarding assessment of steatosis in the setting of human donor liver suitability for transplantation. The Banff Working Group on Liver Allograft Pathology undertook a study to determine the consistency with which steatosis is assessed and reported in frozen sections of potential donor livers.

Approach and results

A panel of 59 pathologists from 16 countries completed a questionnaire covering criteria used to assess steatosis in donor liver biopsies, including droplet size and magnification used; subsequently, steatosis severity was assessed in 18 whole slide images of donor liver frozen sections (n = 59). Survey results (from 56/59) indicated a wide variation in definitions and approaches used to assess and repor
