Although it is generally considered that livers with moderate steatosis can be safely used in the setting of living-donor liver transplantation, the effect of the regenerative process of such a graft on postoperative liver function is incompletely understood. We assessed the morphologic and functional alterations during the regeneration of fatty liver, with special reference to the biliary system.
