  1. To characterize baseline liver function, the Model of End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and the plasma disappearance rate of indocyanine green (ICG-PDR) were calculated in each patient, and the Child-Pugh score only in patients with cirrhosis. The Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) and the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS) score as well as the laboratory parameters were determined immediately before the start of each continuous venovenous hemodialysis treatment. ALAT, alanine aminotransferase; ASAT, aspartate aminotransferase.
