Liver transplant recipients frequently develop acute kidney injury (AKI), but the predisposing factors and long-term consequences of AKI are not well understood. The aims of this study were to identify predisposing factors for early post-transplant AKI and the impact of AKI on patient and graft survival and to construct a model to predict AKI using clinical variables. ⋯ Development of AKI within the first 72 h after transplant impacted short-term and long-term graft survival.
