PG - 446-450 LID - S0022-3468(19)30507-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2019.07.019 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) may contribute to high mortality rates after liver transplantation. Few studies have investigated AKI in pediatric liver transplantation. This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the risk factors for and associated outcomes of AKI in pediatric liver transplant recipients. METHODS: Eighty pediatric liver transplant patients were included. The occurrence of AKI was defined by the KDIGO Clinical Practice Guidelines for Acute Kidney Injury. A multivariate regression analysis model was used to investigate risk factors for AKI in the pediatric liver recipients. RESULTS: The final multivariable regression model showed that biliary atresia (odds ratio [OR] = 0.097, p = 0.03), increased time of the anhepatic phase (OR = 0.871, p = 0.005) and lower postoperative jaundice clearance (OR = 13.936, p = 0.02) were independently associated with the development of AKI in pediatric patients. Additionally, cumulative 3-year patient (p = 0.15) and graft (p = 0.26) survival rates between the non-acute kidney injury (NAKI) and AKI groups were 95.2% vs 86.8% and 90.5% vs 84.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Pediatric liver transplant recipients with a presence of biliary atresia, increased time of anhepatic phase, and a lower postoperative jaundice clearance had an increased risk of AKI. The long-term outcomes of patients who developed AKI appears to be worse compared with those having NAKI. TYPE OF STUDY: Prognosis study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III. CI - Published by Elsevier Inc.
