Liver transplantation (LT) is the primary therapeutic option for managing patients with decompensated cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinom. In the postoperative (PO) period of LT, one-third of patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI), with 8%-10% of them progressing to chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study aims to investigate the frequency of CKD in the first year post-LT and the correlation between AKI in the first seven days PO period and CKD development during this first year.
