•We focused on tenascin-C (TNC), whose expression is enhanced during tissue remodeling. The present study aimed to clarify if serum TNC levels after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) could be a predictor of irreversible liver damage in recipients with prolonged jaundice.•As for the risk fact...
