Abstract :Objective: Liver transplantation using a living donor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LDLT); is currently the most popular method used in the worldwide. Appropriate biomarkers that predict graft status should be used to detect early post-transplant complications that may lead to a rejection reaction. Material and Method: The study involved a total of 44 liver recipients and 44 liver donors, from whom preoperative blood samples were taken and immunoassay and spectrophotometric studies were carried out. The levels of serum neopterin, interferon-gamma insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IFN- y);, indoleamine-2,3 dioxygenase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IDO);, and -glutathione S transferase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a-GST); were assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test. The activity of glutathione reductase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GR); and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(G6PD); in erythrocytes was measured using spectrophotometry. Result and Discussion: “Neopterin, IDO, and G6PD levels were significantly higher in the recipient group than in the donor group. The differences in gender and blood groups were statistically insignificant. The rejection reaction developed in 25% of patients and none survived. These findings may facilitate the identification of novel predictive biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute rejection reactions after LDLT. The clinical use of novel non-invasive biomarkers may provide time and cost advantages.
