No data on AKI have been published from the Swedish lung transplantation program.<h4>Methods</h4>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.<h4>Results</h4>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 Acta anaesthesiologica ScandinavicaAcute kidney injury after lung transplantation, incidence, risk factors, and effects: A Swedish nationwide study.PMC11894586965102Ederoth PWijk JBjursten HGrins EDellgren GZeaiter MLindstedt SLannemyr LfalseAcute kidney injury after lung transplantation, incidence, risk factors, and effects: A Swedish nationwide study.<h4>Background</h4>Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after lung transplantation, but the reported incidence varies in the literature.
