Association Between Post-Operative Serum Lactate, Fluid Administration, and Outcome in Living Donor Liver Transplant Recipients: A Ten-Year Experience.

For some liver transplant recipients, elevated lactate after transplantation is associated with early allograft dysfunction (early allograft dysfunction).

We hypothesized that in absence of other signs of shock, intravenous fluid administration would not be associated with improved graft function for patients with elevated post-transplant lactate.
