An analysis of risk factors leading to post-liver transplantation acute renal failure / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To explore the effect of perioperative risk factors on post-liver transplantation acute renal failure ( ARF). Methods Clinical data of 89 cases undergoing liver transplantation between 1999 and 2002 in our centre were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine relative risk factors leading to post-liver transplantation ARF. Significant factors were then entered into a multivariate logistic regression to identiy factors independently associated with post-liver transplantation ARF. Result In univariate analysis, intraoprative volume of blood transfusion (P - 0. 041) and duration of operation (P = 0. 005) are with statistical significance. ARF is associated with a poor prognosis ( P
