Prognostic value of future liver remnant LU15 index of 99mTc-galactosyl serum albumin scintigraphy for predicting posthepatectomy liver failure.

There is no gold standard indicator that is currently used to predict posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). A novel indicator of liver function, the LU15 index of 99mTc-galactosyl serum albumin (GSA) scintigraphy, refers to the liver uptake ratio over a 15-min interval. We aimed to evaluate the usef...
