Hyperdynamic circulatory state after liver transplantation.
HCS is common pre-LT (69% of our patients) and frequently develops in NHCS patients during LT. There is a trend toward normalization of HCS after LT. Despite the increased requirement for postoperative blood transfusion in those patients with HCS, it may be prudent to avoid treatment of HCS with cardiodepressants and await its spontaneous reversal.
