Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Risk and Liver Disease

Table 1

Demographics of patients who had undergone liver transplantation with documented GD exposure. Numbers in parenthesis represent percentages. MELD represents the Model for End Stage Liver disease score average. GFR units equal mL/min/1.73 m².
