In routine liver biopsies, histochemical stains such as Victoria Blue or Orcein are used to stage fibrosis. In the above setting, the tight timeframe does not allow for histochemical stain such as Victoria Blue to be used.

I think is possible to perform a liver Fibroscan in a very short time (5 minutes on average)

Dear Luis, thank you for your answer. Fibroscan itself, presents another challenge, with its false positive findings as well. Our clinicians are looking at a histology-based fibrosis score when evaluating the donor liver.

The percentage of false positivity with Fibroscan is very low (less than 3%)
