Abstract
After liver transplant (LT), many investigations are needed to evaluate abnormal liver function test (LFT), which has poor specificity for graft function and complication. A single center retrospective audit of all adult single organ LT from 1/1/2015 to 31/12/2017 was performed. Demographic, clinical and investigation data from the LT database and electronic medical records and cost data from the hospital's Business Intelligence Unit were analyzed. Patients were classified into uncomplicated or complicated LFT by 2 independent investigators and the number, type, and cost of investigations in the first 30 post-operative days were analyzed. Investigations prior to liver biopsy was sub-analyzed.
