After hepatic resection the following parameters should be used to monitor liver function in patients at high risk of PHLF: bilirubin, INR, albumin, ammonia levels (in patients with signs of hepatic encephalopathy), glucose, temperature, aminotransferases (AST/ALT), infection markers (leucocytes, procalcitonin, and CRP), lactate, and kidney function (creatinine). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is infection.
