Value of Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Serum Sodium Scores in Predicting Complication Severity Grades After Liver Transplantation for Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure

摘要

Background. Preoperative evaluation is extremely important for patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). It is unclear that whether preoperative Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Serum Sodium (MELD-Na) score has a decisive effect on the complication grade after LF for ACLF. This study is aimed to explore the value of preoperative MELD-Na scores in predicting complication severity grades post LT for ACLF.
