Magnesium Administration in Liver Transplantation and Reperfusion Injury

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2008-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous magnesium infusion before reperfusion with employing some clinical parameters including blood lactate levels, because the intraoperative changes in the blood lactate levels after hepatic allograft reperfusion served as an accurate predictor of the initial graft function in living donor liver transplantation.

• Phase: Phase 4
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
