Ed the histopathological features of the PLB samples using the Metavir

When the serum level of ALT or hyaluronic acid was maintained at a normal level for a few months in the early period or for six months in the late period after LDLT, we gradually decreased the dose of immunosuppressants. When the PLB score was A2 or F2, we increased the dose of immunosuppressants to provide the early treatment of portal inflammation or fibrosis. When the PLB grade was A0 and F0, we gradually T0901317 site decreasedthe dose of immunosuppressants. Statistical analysis The significance of the differences between two groups SART.S23503 was evaluated using the chi-squared test. Associations between the recipient, donor or graft variables and abnormal histopathological findings were evaluated using univariate and backward selection multivariate Cox regression methods. A ROC curve analysis was performed to identify the cutoff value for the correlation between the ALT level and abnormal histopathological findings. All statistical analyses were performed using the StatView software package (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) and EZR (Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Japan). Differences of P j.jebo.2013.04.005 = 41) vs SART.S23503 was evaluated using the chi-squared test. Associations between the recipient, donor or graft variables and abnormal histopathological findings were evaluated using univariate and backward selection multivariate Cox regression methods.
