Abstract

Dd-cfDNA is a novel biomarker with many diagnostic applications in various areas of medicine. In this review of the literature, we investigate its role in the diagnosis of many complications that occur in liver transplantations. In our review, we retrieved data from the medical databases PubMed and Scopus. In our bibliography, many areas concerning the contributions of dd-cfDNA to the field of liver transplantation, such as in the diagnosis of complications that include signsof rejection or graft injury, are mentioned. Dd-cfDNA, which are correlated with other biomarkers such as liver enzymes, can have a high diagnostic value. Measurements of Dd-cfDNA also depend on the graft’s size and origin; therefore, these data should be taken into account for the estimation and explanation of dd-cfDNA values. Despite the utility of this novel diagnostic technique, it comes with some limitations and applicational exclusions, such as cases where there is a blood relation between the donor and recipient.
