Does early posttransplantation hemoglobin level correspond with chronic renal dysfunction in heart transplant recipients?
In addition to recipient age and pretransplantation GFR as well established risk factors, our results suggest a prognostic value of a low early hemoglobin level for the development of chronic renal dysfunction after heart transplantation.
These results suggested that in patients with heart failure, MEE elevation was associated with significant changes in serum metabolomics profiles, especially the concentration of 3-hydroxybutyrate, acetone and succinate. These compounds could be used as potential serum biomarkers to study myocardial energy mechanism in HF patients.
