Healthy volunteers. Liver donor groups; Course of the research: Blood samples from all groups shall be taken for S100β and NSE in preoperative period, in the operating room and after 1 and 6 months in postoperative period. Mortality and morbidity of the patients shall be recorded. Neurological damage and its effect on prognosis shall be examined within the patients who were transplanted liver with S100β and NSE. Demographic data of the patients, accompanying diseases, American Society of Anesthesia classification, etiology, Model For End-Stage Liver Disease score, Child classification, sodium, potassium, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, Alkaline phosphatase, International Normalized Ratio, creatinine and urea shall be recorded. Intraoperative medicine administration and fluid balance, duration of operation, graft hot ischemia and graft cold ischemia durations, initial pulmonary artery pressure, blood component transplantations shall be recorded.

analyzing S100β and neuron specific enolase serum concentrations

Liver Transplantation

S100β is 10.4 kDa protein. Synthesized with end feet processes of astrocytes in the brain S100β belongs to low molecular weight EF-hand type acidic calcium binding protein superfamily. This protein is metabolized in the kidneys and removed with urine. It is shown that S100β does not show differences due to ethnical groups or genders and is not affected by circadian rhythm. Although S100β is also found in other tissues, it is in higher concentrations in the brain so it can be used as an early indicator for brain damage.NSE is an SSS protein which exists in neurons and neuroendocrine tissues. NSE plays a role in glycolytic route in neurons as intracytoplasmic enzyme increasing serum level in case of neuron damage. Whilst S100β is the marker of astroglia dysfunction, NSE is the marker of neuronal dysfunction.

S100β and Neuron Specific Enolase Levels in Liver Transplantation

Evaluation of Preoperative and Postoperative S100β and Neuron Specific Enolase Levels in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation

Blood sample is taken in preoperative period before induction of anesthesia in the operating room to analyze S100β serum concentrations and neurologic damage of liver transplantation patients besides evaluating its effect on prognosis.

Blood sample is taken first month in postoperative period to analyze S100β serum concentrations and neurologic damage of liver transplantation patients besides evaluating its effect on prognosis

Blood sample is taken sixth month in postoperative period to analyze S100β serum concentrations and neurologic damage of liver transplantation patients besides evaluating its effect on prognosis.

Blood sample is taken in preoperative period before induction of anesthesia in the operating room to analyze Neuron specific Enolase serum concentrations and neurologic damage of liver transplantation patients besides evaluating its effect on prognosis.

Blood sample is taken first month in postoperative period to analyze Neuron specific Enolase serum concentrations and neurologic damage of liver transplantation patients besides evaluating its effect on prognosis.

Blood sample is taken sixth month in postoperative period to analyze Neuron specific Enolase serum concentrations and neurologic damage of liver transplantation patients besides evaluating its effect on prognosis.

The aim of the study is to evaluate neurological damage and analyze its effect on prognosis by considering S100β and NSE levels in liver transplantation.
