The Relationship Between Hypoadiponectinemia and Cardiovascular Events in Liver Transplant Recipients

Background. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT). Serum adiponectin levels inversely correlate with CVD-related outcomes, but the relationship between hypoadiponectinemia and CVD after LT is unknown. Thus, the aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate this relationship in LT recipients (LTR). Methods. LTR were prospectively enrolled (N = 130) between January...
