Introduction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) and 30-day mortality after liver transplantation. Material methods. This a retrospective cohort consecutive adults undergoing orthotopic transplantation (OLT) at referral hospital in Brazil, from January 2013 2014. Risk AKI death were investigated. Results. A total 134 patients included, with median age 56 years. was found 46.7% first 72 h OLT. were: viral hepatitis (OR 2.9, 95% CI = 1.2-7),...
Introduction: We sought to describe: 1) The influence of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) on exercise capacity, pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength after surgery, 2) relationship between capacity symptoms anxiety depression. Material methods. This is a prospective follow up study conducted with patients submitted OLT. All were assessed before 1 month surgery through measurements: six minute walk test (6MWT), 6 min step (6MST) HADS (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale)....
