Effect of Perioperative Terlipressin on Postoperative Renal Function in Patients Who Have Undergone Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Recent studies have shown the efficacy of terlipressin on postoperative renal function in patients who have undergone living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). ⋯ An intravenous infusion of terlipressin perioperatively for LDLT has no effect on the creatinine values postoperatively. Larger randomized controlled trials on terlipressin infusions during liver transplantation are needed.
