Post Liver Transplant Renal Dysfunction-Evaluation, Management and Immunosuppressive Practice.

ABSTRACT: Liver transplantation (LT) is an effective and lifesaving treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Significant improvement in intermediate and long-term survival has been possible due to advancements in immunosuppressive therapy, perioperative care, and surgical techniques. Despite these advances, metabolic complications, including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, malignancies, and renal dysfunction, are challenging issues after LT. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) after LT are common and result in significant morbidity and mortality.
