Purpose: There are many risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury in liver transplantation. The aim of this study is to investigate the risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplantation recipients. Methods: 220 living donor liver transplantation recipients were retrospectively evaluated in the study. According to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes Guidelines, acute kidney injury in postoperative day 7 was investigated for all patients. The patient’s demographic data, preoperative and intraoperative parameters, and outcomes were recorded. Results: Acute kidney injury was found in 27 (12.3%) recipients. In recipients with acute kidney injury, female population, model for end-stage liver disease score, norepinephrine requirement, duration of mean arterial pressure less than 60 mmHg, the usage of gelatin and erythrocyte suspension and blood loss were significantly higher than recipients with nonacute kidney injury (for all p<0.05). In multivariate analyses, the likelihood of acute kidney injury on postoperative day 7 were increased 2.8-fold (1.1-7.0), 2.7-fold (1.02-7.3), 3.4-fold (1.2-9.9) and 5.1-fold (1.7-15.0) by postoperative day 7, serum tacrolimus level ≥10.2 ng dL−1, intraoperative blood loss ≥14.5 mL kg−1, the usage of gelatin >5 mL kg−1 and duration of MAP less than 60 mmHg ≥5.5 minutes respectively (for all p<0.05). Conclusions: In living donor liver transplantation recipients, serum tacrolimus levels, intraoperative blood loss, hypotension period and the usage of gelatin may be risk factors for acute kidney injury in the early postoperative period.

Background This study investigated the association between the fibrinogen level and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients who have undergone living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Patients and methods A total of 676 patients who underwent LDLT were analyzed retrospectively. Exclusion criteria included a history of severe kidney dysfunction, emergency operation, deceased donor, ABO-incompatible transplantation, and missing data. The study population was divided into low and normal fibrinogen groups. A 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching analysis was used to evaluate the association between a low fibrinogen level (< 160 mg/dL) and postoperative development of AKI. Results In total, 142 patients (23.1%) developed AKI after LDLT. The PS matching analysis showed that the probability of AKI was two-fold higher in the low fibrinogen group than in the normal fibrinogen group. In addition, patients with AKI had poorer postoperative outcomes such as longer hospitalization, longer ICU stay, and higher mortality than patients without AKI. Conclusions The preoperative fibrinogen level may be useful for risk stratification of patients undergoing LDLT in terms postoperative development of AKI.

This study aimed to determine the association between serum D-dimer levels and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Clinical data of 675 patients undergoing LDLT were retrospectively analyzed. The exclusion criteria included a history of kidney dysfunction, emergency cases, and missing data. The final study population of 617 patients was divided into the normal and high D-dimer groups (cutoff: 0.5 mg/L). After LDLT, 145 patients (23.5%) developed AKI. A high D-dimer level (>0.5 mg/L) was an independent predictor of postoperative development of AKI in the multivariate analysis when combined with diabetes mellitus [DM], platelet count, and hourly urine output. AKI was significantly higher in the high D-dimer group than in the normal D-dimer group (odds ratio [OR], 2.792; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.227–6.353). Patients with a high D-dimer exhibited a higher incidence of early allograft dysfunction, longer intensive care unit stay, and a higher mortality rate. These results could improve the risk stratification of postoperative AKI development by encouraging the determination of preoperative D-dimer levels in patients undergoing LDLT.

Introduction. Previous studies have shown that a higher serum interleukin- (IL-) 6 level is associated with a higher risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) development after major nontransplant surgery. Our study investigated the potential association of preoperative serum cytokine profiles with new AKI development in patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Methods. Serum levels of cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, and IL-17, interferon-γ, and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α were measured in 226 LDLT recipients preoperatively and analyzed retrospectively. Recipients with a preoperative functional impairment of the kidney were excluded. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Results. In a univariate regression model, IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α levels showed an association with AKI development after LDLT. Multivariate analysis showed an independent association of the preoperative serum IL-6 level with AKI development after LDLT and a significant relationship between higher serum IL-6 levels and a greater likelihood of developing AKI. Serum IL-6 levels were higher in patients with stage 3 AKI than in patients who did not develop AKI. Conclusions. Our results support the need for further investigations of IL-6 as a predictor of AKI development in patients undergoing LDLT.

ObjectivesWe examine the association between vitamin B12 level and risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).DesignRetrospective observational cohort study.SettingUniversity hospital, from January 2009 to December 2018.ParticipantsA total of 591 patients who underwent elective LDLT were analysed in this study. Those with a preoperative history of kidney dysfunction, vitamin B12 supplementation due to alcoholism, low vitamin B12 (<200 pg/mL) or missing laboratory data were excluded.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe population was classified into AKI and non-AKI groups according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, and associations between perioperative factors and AKI were analysed. After 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching, the association between high vitamin B12 (>900 pg/mL) and postoperative AKI was evaluated.ResultsPreoperative vitamin B12 was higher in the AKI group. Potentially significant perioperative factors from univariate analyses were entered into multivariate analyses, including preoperative factors (vitamin B12, diabetes), intraoperative factors (hourly urine output) and donor graft fatty change in LDLT patients. PS matching analyses with adjustment using PS revealed that high serum vitamin B12 (>900 pg/mL) was associated with risk for AKI, and the risk was 2.8-fold higher in patients with high vitamin B12 than in those with normal vitamin B12. Higher vitamin B12 was also related to a higher AKI stage. In addition, inflammatory factors (C reactive protein, white blood cells and albumin) were associated with vitamin B12 level.ConclusionsOur study may improve the accuracy of predicting postoperative AKI by introducing preoperative vitamin B12 into risk assessments for patients undergoing LDLT.
