“…Serum ammonia was 29 mmol/L after anesthesia induction (2), 61 mcmol/L in the anhepatic phase (3), 44 mcmol/L an hour after reperfusion (4), 50 mcmol/L 4 h after reperfusion (5), and 50 mcmol/L at the end of the operation (6). Serum ammonia decreased to 54 mcmol/L on POD 1 (7), 44 mcmol/L on POD 2 (8) and to the normal range on POD 3 (9). The horizontal dotted line indicates a normal level of 38.8 mcmol/L POD 2, and they finally decreased to the normal range on POD 3.…”
