ABSTRACT: Background
Somatic tissue oxygen saturation (SstO2) is associated with systemic hypoperfusion. Kidney dysfunction may lead to increased mortality and morbidity in patients who undergo living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We investigated the clinical utility of SstO2 during LDLT for identifying postoperative kidney dysfunction.Patients and methods
Data from 304 adults undergoing elective LDLT between January 2015 and February 2020 at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital were retrospectively collected. Thirty-six patients were excluded based on the exclusion criteria. In total, 268 adults were analyzed, and 200 patients were 1:1 propensity score (PS)-matched.Results
Patients with early kidney dysfunction had significantly lower intraoperative SstO2 values than those with normal kidney function. Low SstO2 (< 66%) 1 h after graft reperfusion was more highly predictive of early kidney dysfunction than the values measured in other intraoperative phases. A decline in the SstO2 was also related to kidney dysfunction.Conclusions
Kidney dysfunction after LDLT is associated with patient morbidity and mortality. Our results may assist in the detection of early kidney dysfunction by providing a basis for analyzing SstO2 in patients undergoing LDLT. A low SstO2 (< 66%), particularly 1 h after graft reperfusion, was significantly associated with early kidney dysfunction after surgery. SstO2 monitoring may facilitate the identification of early kidney dysfunction and enable early management of patients.
