Method of evaluating function of organ for transplantation, program for evaluating function of organ for transplantation, and apparatus that evaluates function of organ for transplantation

Abstract

A method of evaluating a function of an organ for transplantation harvested from a living body, the method includes preparing data representing change over time in content of marker substances in accordance with a perfusion, taking a first tissue sample from the organ for transplantation at first timing in a reperfusion of the organ for transplantation, taking a second tissue sample from the organ for transplantation at second timing after the first timing in the reperfusion, measuring contents of the marker substances in the first tissue sample, measuring contents of the marker substances in the second tissue sample, calculating change in content at the second timing as compared with the first timing for each of the marker substances, and calculating an indicator relating to evaluation of the function of the organ for transplantation using the calculated change in content and the data.
