1 Severe ischemic early liver injury after cardiac surgery
Jai S Raman, Kazuhiro Kochi, MD, Hiroshi Morimatsu, MD, Brian Buxton, Rinaldo Bellomo, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 74, Issue 5, Pages (November 2002) DOI: /S (02)

2 Fig 1 Changes in alanine amino transferase levels in the immediate postoperative period. No significant changes occurred in preoperative controls (square) and acute renal failure/shock patients (triangle), but there was a marked and rapid rise in affected patients (circle) to a mean level more than 3000 IU/L that peaked at day 3 and then returned to baseline over several days. (Pre = preoperative.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (02) )

3 Fig 2 Creatine kinase levels after surgery. There were significantly greater levels in patients with severe ischemic early liver injury after cardiac surgery (circle) compared with preoperative controls (square) but not acute renal failure/shock patients (triangle). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (02) )

4 Fig 3 Serum creatinine concentration in patients with severe ischemic early liver injury after cardiac surgery (circle) and acute renal failure/shock (triangle) was significantly greater than in preoperative controls (square) in the immediate postoperative period.
