Abstract:
Objective To monitor the dynamic changes of liver and kidney functions in the first week after liver transplantation and to assess the value of liver and kidney functions in predicting patient's survival. Methods clinical data of 161 recipients with benign liver diseases were retrospectively reviewed.Total bilirubin ( TB ), aminoleucine transferase ( ALT), aspartate aminotransferase ( AST), prothrombin time (PT) and serum creatinine (SCr) were recorded and analyzed during the first post-transplant week.The data collected at dl were analyzed in the multivariate COX regression. Results From d1 to d7 post-transplant, the median value changed from 116. 2 mmol/L to 66. 7 mmol/L ( Z = 5.901, P < 0. 01 ) for TB,19.4 s to 15.0 s (Z = 11. 657, P <0.01 ) for PT, 285 U/L to 100 U/L (Z = 12.619, P<0. 01 ) for ALT,264 U/L to 50 U/L (Z =9. 776, P <0. 01 ) for AST, 103.4 mmol/L to 86. 6 mmol/L (Z = 1. 353, P 0. 05 ) for SCr. Post-transplant SCr ( RR = 3. 477, P < 0. 001 ) and TB ( RR = 2. 088, P < 0. 05) levels wereindependent factors influencing patient survival. A prognostic score formula was then established as 1. 276 ×InSCr (mg/dL) + 0. 730 × InTB (mg/dL). Conclusion In a successful liver transplantation,transplanted liver function recovers promtly within one week. SCr and TB levels on post-transplant d1 have good prognostic value.
