Original Investigation
Analysis of risk factors affecting coagulopathy after donor hepatectomy in a newly established liver transplant center Sema Aktaş1, Şinasi Sevmiş1, Mehmet Şeker2, Esin Korkut3, Hamdi Karakayalı1 ABSTRACT
Objective: As might be expected, living donor liver surgery is associated with serious morbidity and mortality risks. Coagulopathy after donor hepatectomy is an important risk factor affecting morbidity. In this study, risk factors affecting the development of coagulopathy after donor hepatectomy was evaluated in a newly-established liver transplant center. Material and Methods: A retrospective evaluation of 46 liver donors to whom hepatectomy was applied in Medipol Universty of School of Medicine Department of Organ Transplantation between April 2014 and July 2015 was made. Coagulopathy was defined as prothrombin time ≥15 sec. or platelet count
