Abstract

Rejection monitoring after liver transplantation still relies on blood tests and biopsies, which are invasive and reactive. The sentinel skin flap (SSF), a vascularised donor skin patch on the forearm, offers a visible, biopsy-amenable early warning system for rejection. We aimed to evaluate its acceptability in liver and simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) patients.
