While initially the focus was on acceptable short-term survival, currently the efforts are aimed at improving longterm prognosis. Thus, focus is now on the quality of life after liver transplantation, as well as prediction and management of ...
متن کاملEndotoxemia is associated with renal dysfunction in liver transplantation recipients during the first postoperative week.
The effect of endotoxemia on renal function was studied in 76 orthotopic liver transplant patients. In the preoperative period, a high preoperative serum creatinine level (> 2.0 mg/dl) was significantly associated with postoperative endotoxemia. The serum total bilirubin level was significantly greater in the patients with high serum creatinine levels than in those with lower serum creatinine l...
متن کاملAdefovir- or Lamivudine-Induced Renal Tubular Dysfunction after Liver Transplantation
To reduce hepatitis B virus reinfection after liver transplantation (LT), patients often receive antihepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) alone or combined with antiviral nucleoside/nucleotide analogs (NUCs); however, proximal renal tubular dysfunction (RTD) that was induced by NUCs in liver recipients was rarely reported. Here, we analyzed RTD and renal impairment (RI) following adefovir (ADV) an...
