Transesophageal echocardiography during orthotopic liver transplantation in patients with esophagoastric varices.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A combined liver and kidney transplantation (CLKT) is advocated for selected individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing liver transplantation (LT). The aim was to develop a risk score to identify the patients whose estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) would decline during the year post-LT to a...
