    Author: Takada Y, Shimahara Y, Manaka D, Uemoto S, Mori K, Tanaka K, Yamaoka Y, Kumada K, Ozawa K.
    Journal: Eur J Surg; 1992 May; 158(5):317-9. PubMed ID: 1354500.
    Abstract:
    In 3 cases of living related liver transplantation, arterial ketone body ratio (AKBR) showed secondary decrease in the early postoperative period, indicating the graft dysfunction more rapidly and sensitively than other liver function tests. Significance of AKBR for monitoring the graft function in postoperative management after liver transplantation is discussed.
