Contribution of Acute Kidney Injury After Liver Transplant in Development of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Key Points

Severe acute kidney injury is linked to a higher risk of chronic kidney disease following liver transplant.
At one year, kidney injury increases the chance of severe chronic kidney disease and impacts mortality rates.
Observational analysis showed AKI's significant relationship with long-term kidney health in liver transplant recipients.
Mitigating AKI may offer a strategic approach to improving outcomes and reducing morbidity after transplantation.

Abstract

Severe postoperative AKI is associated with an increased risk of severe CKD at 1 year and mortality up to 3 years after liver transplant. Postoperative AKI represents an important target for future perioperative interventions aimed at mitigating the risk of long-term morbidity and mortality for liver transplant patients.
