Summary
Many but not all studies have shown improvement in morbidity and mortality with intensive
glycemic management postoperatively. In this study, the investigators propose to determine
whether improved glycemic control using intensive insulin treatment immediately
postoperatively will improve outcomes in patients undergoing liver transplant using a
prospective, controlled, randomized, parallel-group study design targeting two different
glucose levels, 140 and 180 mg/dL.
