Inflammatory markers and infectious complications in the early postoperative period in orthotopic liver transplantation

Abstract

Procalcitonin and c-reactive protein are routine inflammatary markers used in the perioperative period to detect surgical infectious complications. However, a number of studies have demonstrated that these laboratory markers appear less effective in identifying infectious complications in the early postoperative period in patients after liver transplantation, and their predictive power is limited. We hypothesized, that interleukin-6 could be a more reliable and precise marker of the development of infectious complications in this patient population.
