Low preoperative prealbumin predicts the prevalence of complications following liver transplantation

BMC Gastroenterology May 28, 2021

Li Y, Liu X, Jiang Y, et al. - This study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between preoperative prealbumin and postoperative complications in liver transplantation (LT). In the retrospective analysis, researchers recruited a total of 191 patients who had undergone LT between 2015 and 2019 were included. They used univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses to distinguish independent risk factors for postoperative complications. Individuals were classified into subgroups by Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and the association between preoperative prealbumin and postoperative complications was also assessed in each group. It was shown that preoperative prealbumin was correlated with postoperative complications in LT, and preoperative nutritional support benefitted postoperative recovery, particularly for individuals with low MELD scores.
