Brief Summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI), is a common complication of patients undergoing liver transplantation. Timing and definition of AKI, usually based on serum creatinine, have been inaccurate and inconsistent. We hypothesized that the pattern of novel biomakers elevation could be a prognostic tool to provide information on the risk of progression of AKI, the need for RRT and mortality.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Development of Acute Kidney Injury based on novel biomarkers

    Compare the timing for diagnosis of AKI comparing novel biomarkers and serum creatinine defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes. In addition, we aim to evaluate if the pattern of elevation of the novel biomarkers provide information on progression and severity of AKI.

    within 7 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Short and long term renal outcomes

    1 year

  • Association of urine chemistry and microscopy to predict acute kidney injury

    within 7 days of liver transplantation

Study Arms (1)

with AKI and without AKI

development of AKI by sCr and by novel biomarkers
