Fig. 4.

Changes of serum AST, ALT, total bilirubin and creatinine levels before and after living donor liver transplantation. All parameters were observed to significantly increase at POD 1 and decrease at POD 5, but there was no difference between the groups. Normal-NS: NS group with preoperative magnesium levels ≥ 0.70 mmol/L, Normal-MG: magnesium-treated group with preoperative magnesium levels ≥ 0.70 mmol/L, Low-NS: NS group with preoperative magnesium levels < 0.70 mmol/L, Low-MG: magnesium-treated group with preoperative magnesium levels < 0.70 mmol/L. AST: aspartate aminotransferase, ALT: alanine aminotransferase. Preop: preoperative value (one day before surgery), POD 1: postoperative 1 day, POD 5: postoperative 5 day. ^*P < 0.05 when compared with Preop by Bonferroni correction.
