Higher Mortality and Survival Benefit in Obese Patients Awaiting Liver Transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cardiovascular disease remains epidemic in transplant recipients, despite aggressive treatment of cardiovascular risk factors. Thus, novel risk factors could play a role in the genesis of cardiovascular events in this population. METHODS:We evaluated the impact of early posttransplant anemia on cardiovascul...
