Donor Small-Droplet Macrovesicular Steatosis Affects Liver Transplant Outcome in HCV-Negative Recipients

Figure 2

Representative images of Ld-MaS (a), Sd-MaS (b), and true microvesicular steatosis (c). In (a), a single fat vacuole displaced the nucleus to periphery of the cell. In contrast, multiple fat vacuoles not displacing the nucleus were considered the hallmark of (b). In (c) steatosis was true microvesicular when many tiny lipid vesicles were diffusely distributed within the cytoplasm leading to a foamy appearance.
