Description
Summary:Background Patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) are prone to dialysis‐requiring acute kidney injury (AKI‐D). However, long‐term prognoses among them need further investigation, as overall survival after LT is improving. Methods A nationwide, population‐based cohort study was conducted using the data of Korean National Health Insurance System between 2006 and 2015. The patients who received dialysis during the perioperative period of LT were in the AKI‐D group, and the control group included those who did not undergo dialysis. Results Among the 6879 patients who underwent LT, 968 were in the AKI‐D group. All‐cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.52 (1.26‐1.83), P
