Nephromegaly has been associated with infantile biliary atresia (BA), the most common indication for liver transplantation in children. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important co-morbidity impacting survival after liver transplantation.

Our aim was to assess the prevalence of nephromegaly and acute kidney injury in BA patients and describe the evolution of kidney size post-liver transplant.
