ABSTRACT

Background and Aim: The utility of renal replacement therapy (RRT) before liver transplant (LT) in patients without end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD-IV/V) is debatable and lacks data support. We aimed to evaluate the impact of RRT on patients undergoing LT. Methods: We used the National Readmission Database (2016-2019) to identify all index hospitalizations undergoing RRT before LT (cases). A matched comparison cohort of similar hospitalizations without RRT before LT was identified (controls) after 1:1 propensity score matching for age, gender, and available comorbidities. Results: We matched 364 cases (RRT before LT) to 364 controls (LT without prior RRT). There was no statistical difference in all-cause inpatient mortality (4.9% vs 3.6% P = 0.4). A significantly greater proportion of cases were associated with ICU admission (40.7% vs 17.0%, P < 0.001) and RRT requirement post LT (100% vs 17%, P < 0.001). There was no difference in 30- (hazard ratio [HR] 1.1, 0.4-2.6), 60- (HR 0.9, 0.4-1.8), or 90-day (HR 0.8, 0.4-1.6) inpatient mortality between the groups. Also, 180-day survival estimates were comparable (P = 0.5). The results were similar in patients with no chronic kidney disease (CKD) and CKD-III. Conclusion: RRT prior to LT, in patients without advanced CKD or ESRD, was associated with greater instances of ICU stay and need for future RRT. Also, 30-, 60-, and 90-day inpatient mortality rates were similar, and 180-day survival estimates were comparable.
