Investigating an appropriate indicator of acute kidney injury for patient prognosis following lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between different subtypes of acute kidney injury (AKI) and clinical outcomes following lung transplantation (LTx) and to identify a reliable indicator for predicting poor prognosis in the LTx population.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 279 LTx patients from August 2016 to March 2023. The AKI subtypes included AKI, persistent AKI on Day 7 (P7-AKI) and Day 14 (P14-AKI) after LTx, and AKI stages. The correlations of these factors with respiratory outcomes, mortality at 90 days, mortality at 1 year and data finalization were assessed, and the risk factors for the selected AKI subtypes were evaluated.

Results

AKI occurred in 215 patients (77.1%), with 129 (46.2%) experiencing P
