Popis: Renal dysfunction is a common complication and one of the factors that affects the outcomes of liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to review the clinical course of recipients of LT who needed peritransplant dialysis at our center.We compared the clinical demographics, morbidity, and mortality between patients who required and those who did not require peritransplant dialysis among 26 recipients of LT from May 2015 to February 2018 at our center.Among the recipients, 9 had pretransplant or posttransplant dialysis and 17 did not. The patients who underwent dialysis had a higher pretransplant Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score (42 vs 13; P .001), older donor age (41 vs 24 years; P .001), and longer post-LT hospital stay (37 vs 20 days; P .001). However, there was no significant difference in the serum creatinine level between the 2 groups (1.36 vs 0.93 mg/dL; P = .187) at 2 weeks (1.10 vs 0.96 mg/dL; P = .341), 1 month (1.06 vs 0.86 mg/dL; P = .105), and 3 months after LT (0.92 vs 0.94 vs 0.89 mg/dL; P = .825). Mortality was higher in the peritransplant dialysis group (P = .043). The pre-LT dialysis duration was significantly related to post-LT dialysis (P = .028) and mortality (P = .011).The pre-LT dialysis duration is considered an important factor in the survival and recovery of kidney function after LT. Therefore, if the patient has started dialysis, it may be beneficial to proceed to LT as soon as possible.
