Summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the sudden loss of kidney function that occurs frequently in hospitalised patients with cirrhosis. * It develops in up to 53% and is independently associated with high short-term mortality. * A diagnosis of AKI (even stage 1 AKI) has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of long-term mortality at 30-day, 90-day and 1-year, compared to patients without AKI, even when there is recovery of AKI. * Risk factors with the strongest association for developing AKI include CKD, sepsis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), and presence of ascites. * AKI in cirrhosis is also associated with development of de-novo chronic kidney disease (CKD) , progressive loss of kidney function in patients with pre-existing CKD,recurrent AKI (i.e., AKI on top of CKD) and other organ failures * Kidney dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis is associated with a marked increase in mortality compared with patients without kidney dysfunction. * The accurate estimation of kidney function in patients with cirrhosis is hence crucial for prognosis, treatment strategies, and decisions regarding simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT). * Although measured GFR(mGFR) may be ideal for assessing kidney function, it is costly, time-consuming, and challenging to perform frequently in fluctuating kidney function. Therefore, GFR is most commonly estimated using serum creatinine (sCr)-based or cystatin C (CysC)-based equations

Eligibility Criteria
