Background. Liver viability depends on blood flow rate, which varies among isolated perfused livers used in different studies. We aimed to identify the minimal blood flow capable of keeping the energy charge compatible with liver viability. Materials and methods. Isolated canine livers were assigned to different groups (n = 4) with blood flow rates of 0.5 (Group I), 1.0 (Group II), and 1.5 ml/g/min (Group III). Blood gases, hematocrit, and glucose were measured over 180 min. Nucleotides, serum osmolarity, and electrolytes were also measured. Morphological changes were recorded at the end of each experiment. Results. Acid-base balance was better in livers from Group III. Electrolytes, osmolarity, hematocrit, and glucose showed no differences. Higher energy charges correlated with higher blood flow rates. On histopathology, there was evidence of more hydrostatic pressure-related changes in Group III, with no difference in necrosis or inflammatory-related alterations. Conclusions. (1) Energy charge correlates strongly with blood flow rate. (2) A rate of 1.5 ml/g/min allows for a better electrolyte, osmolarity, and acid-base balance. (3) Morphological analysis is not a sensitive predictor of organ viability as assessed by energetic potential. (4) The minimal blood flow rate required to attain an energy charge above 0.75 is 1.33 ml/g/min.
