Perioperative Delta Sodium and Post–Liver Transplant Neurological Complications in Liver Transplant Recipients

Conclusions. Adult LT recipients with higher perioperative delta sodium shifts displayed a higher risk of post-LT CNS complications, even after adjusting for pre-LT sodium. LT recipients, even those with pre-LT hyponatremia, may benefit from maintenance of stable serum sodium levels to minimize post-LT CNS complications.
