OBJECTIVE: To propose a grading system for early hepatic graft dysfunction. METHODS: A retrospective study from a single transplant center. Recipients of liver transplants from deceased donors, transplanted under the MELD system were included. Early graft dysfunction was defined by Olthoff criteria. Multiple cut-off points of post-transplant laboratory tests were used to create a grading system for early graft dysfunction. The primary outcome was 6-months grafts survival. RESULTS: The peak of aminotransferases during the first postoperative week correlated with graft […]
