Abstract: Hemodynamics and oxygen variables, plasma cytokines, and histological features of a liver tissue sample obtained by transvenous biopsy were evaluated during 65 episodes of acute rejection. The hepatic venous pressure gradient was significantly higher in patients with acute rejection than in those without (5.1+/-0.3 vs. 3.1+/-0.2 mmHg, P
