Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters: - Graft and patient survival at 7 days and 1 month. - Primary non-function (PNF): Occurrence of retransplantation or patient death within the first 7 days after OLT, without any identifiable cause of graft dysfunction(12). - Early allograft dysfunction (EAD), presence of one or more of the following variables (13): o Elevation of AST and/or ALT above a defined cut-off value (>2000 IU/mL ) within the first 7 days after OLT; o Elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of *1.6 on day 7 after OLT; o Elevated bilirubin levels of *10 mg/dL on day 7 after OLT. - Development of non-anastomotic biliary strictures (NAS). - Biochemical analysis of graft function and ischemia-reperfusion injury determined with serum levels of ALT, AST, AlkP, *GT, INR, lactate, creatinine, platelets and total bilirubin at postoperative day 0-7 and 1 and 3 months. | — |
