Antithrombin III and Post-liver Transplantation Acute Kidney Injury
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The reno-protective effect of Antithrombin III (ATIII) has been well-studied in various animal studies; however, little is known about the effect of ATIII on kidney function in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT). This study aimed to determine the association between preoperative ATIII level and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after LT (post-LT AKI).

---|---|
antithrombin III < 50 % preoperative antithrombin III levels <50% |
Drug: Antithrombin III
In liver transplant recipients with baseline antithrombin III levels lower than 50%, exogenous Antithrombin III was administrated during the anhepatic phase of the liver transplant surgery.

Antithrombin III ≥ 50 % preoperative antithrombin III levels ≥ 50 % |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
