Acute kidney injury after lung transplantation, incidence, risk factors, and effects: A Swedish nationwide study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after lung transplantation, but the reported incidence varies in the literature. No data on AKI have been published from the Swedish lung transplantation program.

Methods

The aim of our study was to investigate the incidence, perioperative risk factors, and effects of early postoperative acute kidney injury (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] criteria) after lung transplantation. A retrospective, nationwide study of 568 lung-transplanted patients in Sweden between 2011 and 2020 was performed.

Results

The incidence of AKI (any grade) was 42%. Renal replacement therapy was used in 5% of the patients. Preoperative factors independently associated with increased incidence of AKI were higher body
