Factors Influencing the Concentration of Cytokines During Liver Transplantation

Abstract Not only does the underlying disease that requires surgery constitute a significant stress to the human body, but also the surgery itself serves as a stressor. Cytokine secretion is activated in response to the surgical stress during liver transplantation. We examined 44 patients to compare...

Description
Summary:Abstract Not only does the underlying disease that requires surgery constitute a significant stress to the human body, but also the surgery itself serves as a stressor. Cytokine secretion is activated in response to the surgical stress during liver transplantation. We examined 44 patients to compare cytokine levels, according to the underlying diseases causing liver failure (viral hepatitis vs alcoholic hepatitis), examining whether the values differed according to the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score [high (≥20) vs low (
