Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Prediction of prognosis after liver transplantation (OLT) remains difficult. The present study determines if standard laboratory parameters measured within the first week after OLT correlate with outcome.', 'Laboratory parameters measured within the first weak after OLT of 328 patients were grouped either graft loss or death within 90 days after (group 1: graft loss; group 2: death; group 3: neither graft loss nor death within 90 days).', 'Peak AST and ALT were significantly lower in group 3 (1867 and 1252 U/L) than in group 1 (4474 and 2077 U/L) or 2 (3121 and 1865 U/L). Bilirubin was significantly lower and gamma-GT significantly higher in group 3 compared to groups 1 and 2. In multivariate analysis, high AST peaks were independently associated with death or graft loss within 90 days. An increase in gamma-GT and low bilirubin early after transplantation were found to be independently associated with superior outcome.
Output (English): Are an early increase in gamma glutamyltranspeptidase and low aspartate aminotransferase peak values associated with superior outcomes after orthotopic liver transplantation?
