Effectiveness of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate on perioperative hepatic function protection in patients undergoing hepatectomy

BACKGROUND Real-world data remain limited on the effectiveness of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) for post hepatectomy liver injury. We hypothesize that perioperative MgIG is effective as a management strategy against hepatic injury in patients undergoing hepatectomy. AIM To evaluate the prophylactic and therapeutic effectiveness of MgIG for hepatic injury in patients undergoing hepatectomy in a real-world setting. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of consecutive Chinese
