The Efficacy of Intravenous Amino Acids in Reducing the Occurrence of AKI After Live Donor Liver Transplant

This prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous amino acid infusion in reducing AKI after LDLT. Eligible adult patients undergoing LDLT will be randomized into two groups: one receiving Continuous infusion of a L-amino acids mixture in a dose of 2 g/kg dry body weight/day (to a maximum 100 g/day) after induction of anesthesia and insertion of CVP line till 72 hours after treatment initiation, and the other receiving standard management.
