Incidence and outcomes of acute kidney injury following orthotopic lung transplantation: a population-based cohort study.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication following lung transplantation (LTx). We aimed to describe the incidence and outcomes associated with AKI following LTx. ⋯ By the KDIGO definition, AKI occurred in two-thirds of patients following LTx. AKI portended greater risk of death and loss of kidney function.
