It is important to remember that ischemic injury can affect
the liver allograft in a segmental fashion. Therefore,
a biopsy may over estimate or under estimate the injury. This
potential problem can be minimized, but not eliminated,
by close clinical correlation. The above gross photograph
of a resected allograft shows the subcapsular distribution of
the necrosis, while other, deeper areas are less severely
affected.
