Brief summary

To verify whether albumin administration to achieve serum concentration above 30g/L (treated group) and its maintenance within plasmatic physiologic range (above 30 g/L) for five days diminishes rate of AKI at Day 7 after liver transplantation as compared to restrained albumin administration (when serum concentration is at 20 g/L or below (control)).

Interventions

DRUGAlbumin administration

when albumin serum concentration is at 30 g/L or below
