Intraoperative factors independently associated with increased incidence of AKI were use of cardiopulmonary bypass (OR: 2.70 [1.57, 4.63]), increasing number of transfused red blood cell units, and use of immunosuppressive therapy other than routine (OR: 2,56 [1.47, 4.46]). A higher diuresis (OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.58-0.85) was associated with less incidence of acute kidney injury. Development of AKI was associated with increased time to extubation (median 30 h, IQR [9, 118] vs. 6 [3, 16]), length of stay in the intensive care unit (9 days [4, 25] vs. 3 [2, 5]) and increased rate of primary graft dysfunction (OR 2.33 [1.66, 3.29]) and 30-day mortality (OR: 10.8 [3.0, 69]).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Acute kidney injury is common after lung transplantation and affects clinical outcomes negatively. Preoperative factors may be used for risk assessment. The use of cardiopulmonary bypass is a potentially modifiable intraoperative risk factor.</p><p><strong>Editorial comment: </strong>Acute kidney injury is a common complication after lung transplantation that severely influences patient outcomes. This large study of more than 500 patients treated over a decade identified potentially modifiable factors associated with the development of acute kidney injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":6909,"journal":{"name":"Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica","volume":"69 4","pages":"e70014"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11894586/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143596078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
