Risk and prediction of kidney failure early after liver transplantation

CONCLUSIONS: Kidney failure within 1-year post-LT could not be reliably predicted by pre-LT eGFR. However, kidney failure was uncommon even in patients with severely reduced pre-LT glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <30 mL/min), and extremely rare in patients unaffected by major perioperative complications. Our data prompts further consideration regarding the guidelines for SLKT in patients with a reduced preoperative eGFR.PMID:38069811 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2291992
