Correlation of Hepatic 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake with Fatty Liver and Liver Function Tests
Liver demonstrates heterogenous FDG uptake pattern and sometimes shows abnormally increased uptake even though there is no malignant tissue. There was no previous study to correlate these various pattern of hepatic FDG uptake with benign liver disease. Therefore, we evaluated the significance of …

The role of serial lactate and liver enzyme dynamics in predicting post hepatectomy liver failure
Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality following liver resection. Current prognostic models only allow for the detection of PHLF on post-operative day 5. Earlier detection and intervention may improve outcomes. To date, no studies have …
