Optimal timing of initiating CRRT in patients with acute kidney injury after liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after liver transplantation (LT), and is associated with high mortality. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is an important treatment for AKI, but the optimal time for initiation is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic effect of initial CRRT treatment time.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 173 recipients undergoing LT from January 2018 to March 2019. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. All patients receiving CRRT were divided into early and late group according to urine output. Prognosis was compared between the two groups.

Results

A total of 48 (27.8%) patients were identified
