Patient flow diagram. A total of 231 patients were eligible for study purposes. After exclusions, data from 110 patients were included. Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) was defined according to the Olthoff criteria. Elevated aminotransferase level on the first 2 postoperative days (AST or ALT > 2000 IU/L) was defined as a sign of ischemia–reperfusion-injury (IRI). IRI patients were classified according to their PCT level into IRI patients with PCT > 15 mcg/l and IRI patients with PCT < 15 mcg/l
