As early as 10 minutes after transplantation
of a liver allograft into a presensitized recipient,
platelets and platelet fragments fill the sinusoids,
as shown here(arrow). The surrounding hepatocytes
are relatively unremarkable and the adjacent Kupffer's
cells show no evidence of platelet phagocytosis.
Please mail comments, corrections or suggestions to the
TPIS administration at the UPMC.
