A temperature greater than 101°F (38.3°C) is a potential sign of liver transplant rejection and should be reported immediately to the healthcare provider for further evaluation. Decreased ALT and a PT of 14 seconds are within normal range and do not necessarily indicate rejection. A pulse rate of 80 beats per minute is also within normal range and does not indicate rejection.
