l-Carnitine Improves Postoperative Liver Function in Hepatectomized Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: We found that perioperative treatment with l-carnitine was significantly better than ordinary treatment in reducing postoperative serum ammonia levels, suggesting that l-carnitine may serve as a pivotal regulator of liver injury and repair and result in shorter postoperative hospitalization (ClinicalTrials.gov trial registration no. NCT03021876). PMID: 31599019 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
