The risk index assigned 3 points each to male sex and norepinephrine use, and 5 points to the remaining factors. A score ≥11 had moderate performance (AUC 0.70) and a negative predictive value of 90 %. Patients with pAKI had longer ICU and hospital stays and higher in-hospital mortality. At 5 years, overall mortality did not differ significantly, but those with pAKI had a 10 ml/min/1.73m² lower eGFR.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>pAKI is a frequent OLT complication, negatively affecting short-term outcomes and long-term renal function. The proposed risk index effectively identifies patients at low risk, supporting targeted monitoring and prevention.</p>","PeriodicalId":7979,"journal":{"name":"Annals of hepatology","volume":" ","pages":"101923"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143961861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
