BACKGROUND: We sought a diagnostic tool using perioperative variables that might predict post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 68 patients undergoing major hepatectomy, data on inflammatory markers and coagulation factors were prospectively collected and were compared between patients with International Study Group of Liver Surgery definition grade B/C PHLF (LF group) and those without LF (non-LF group). RESULTS: Preoperatively, the LF group (n=9; 13.2%) had a lower platelet count and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs 13 (ADAMTS13) activity and a higher prothrombin time-International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR) than the non-LF group. On postoperative day 1, the LF group had significantly higher serum interleukin 6 (IL6), C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), and IL10 levels than the non-LF group. The logistic regression model that included preoperative PT-INR and CCL2 on postoperative day 1 predicted grade B/C PHLF with 100% sensitivity and 89.8% specificity. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the combination of preoperative PT-INR and CCL2 on postoperative day 1 can predict PHLF earlier and precisely after major hepatectomy. Copyright
