Abstract
Defining what is PHLF and criteria to diagnose it were equally difficult as treating a PHLF. The International Study Group of Liver Surgery: considering the normal postoperative course of serum bilirubin concentration and International Normalized Ratio defined PHLF as the impaired ability of the liver to maintain its synthetic, excretory, and detoxifying functions, which are characterized by an increased INR and concomitant hyperbilirubinemia on or after postoperative day 5 [1].
