Immediate Postoperative Low Platelet Counts After Living Donor Liver Transplantation Predict Early Allograft Dysfunction

摘要

To investigate whether the platelets can improve liver function by mediating liver regeneration. Using a retrospective cohort with 234 consecutive adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation recipients, we have discussed the relationship between immediate postoperative platelet count and outcome. Patients have been stratified into Low Platelet Group (106 patients) with platelet ≤68 × 10^{9/L and High Platelet Group (128 patients) with platelet >68 × 109/L. Low Platelet Group has a higher rate of preoperative thrombocytopenia (90.6% vs. 32.8%, P 9/L is an independent risk factor for EAD. Platelet maybe influences the functional status of the liver by promoting graft regeneration after liver transplantation.}
