Background: Acute renal failure (ARF) is one of the most significant complications of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), associated with increased mortality rate and the development of chronic renal dysfunction. The aim of the study was to determine the perioperative risk factors for ARF in patients without previous history of renal disease who are undergoing OLT.
Materials And Methods: Forty-six patients who developed ARF after OLT performed in 1 transplant center were included in the study, and 52 consecutive patients without that complication served as a control group.
Unlabelled: Liver metastases are diagnosed synchronously with the primary tumour in 25% of patients with colorectal cancer. A half of the remaining patients develop liver metastases within 3 years following colectomy. At present, the only radical treatment of metastases is liver resection.
