The predictive value of -glutamyl transferase to serum albumin ratio in hepatocellular carcinoma patients after liver transplantation.

Background: Elevated preoperative γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels or reduced serum albumin levels have been established as negative prognostic factors for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and various other tumors. Nonetheless, the prognostic significance of the GGT to serum albumin ratio (GAR) in liver transplantation (LT) therapy for HCC is still not well-defined.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 141 HCC patients who underwent LT at Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital from June 2017 to November 2020.

Liver Transplantation for Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Associated With Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis: A Case Report.

Liver transplantation (LT) for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) accompanied by acute necrotizing pancreatitis is still unclear. We have a reported case of LT for ACLF associated with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. The postoperative multiorgan dysfunction and secondary infection were successfully managed under close supervision.
