Effect of preoperative hypoalbuminemia on postoperative mortality and morbidity in liver transplant surgery

Aim: In this study, it isaimed to retrospectively evaluatethe effect of serum albumin levels on postoperative mortality and morbidity in patients with end-stage liver failure with hypoalbuminemia who underwent follow-up liver transplant surgery. Material and Method: After the approval of the ethics committee, the patients who underwent liver transplant surgery between April 2011 and September 2016 were divided into two groups as with preoperative albumin values
