Prediction of poor graft function by means of gastric tonometry in patients undergoing liver transplantation

Prediction of poor graft function by means of gastric tonometry in patients undergoing liver transplantation

Introduction. Splanchnic hypoperfusion appears to play a key role in the failure of functional recovery of the graft after orthotopic liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to determine if alterations of tonometric parameters, which are related to splanchnic perfusion, could predict p...
