Official Title: Acute Kidney Injury Biomarkers: Diagnosis and Application in Pre-operative Period of Liver Transplantation
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.
