Abstract Liver transplantation (LT) has altered the natural history of end-stage liver disease and is now considered the preferred therapy for a wide range of previously fatal chronic liver diseases. Renal dysfunction, whether acute (ARD) or chronic (CRD), is a common complication after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and can seriously jeopardize post-LT survival. Given the organ shortage for deceased donor liver transplantation or donor risk in living donor liver transplantation, it should be essential to determine which patients will experience progressive and severe renal dysfunction after liver transplantation. |
