Fig. 3

Clinical chemistry. Postoperative clinical chemistry of 122 liver transplant (LT) recipients, 65 with postreperfusion syndrome (PRS, black circles), 57 without postoperative PRS (white circles). LT recipients with PRS suffered from greater postoperative transplant damage and poorer transplant function during the postoperative course: Aspartat transferase blood concentration was higher (a) and blood hemostasis was poorer (d) compared to LT recipients without postreperfusion syndrome (alanine transferase was higher but did not reach significance, (b) LT recipients with and without PRS did not differ in gall retention (c). Inflammation marker procalcitonin (e) and kidney function marker creatinine (f) were peaking higher during the postoperative course in LT recipients with PRS compared to recipients without PRS but did not reach statistical significance. P-values: repeated measures ANOVA; *: post-hoc t-test; mean and standard deviation
