OSOskar SwartlingKarolinska University Hospital TRTim Reese KHKristina Hasselgren

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) after major hepatectomy and postoperative complications, including liver failure.
Analysis of postoperative outcomes following major hepatectomy.
Assessment of the incidence of AKI in patients.
Evaluation of morbidity and mortality rates within 90 days post-surgery.
AKI is a common complication after major hepatectomy.
Postoperative AKI is linked to higher rates of post-hepatectomy liver failure.
AKI contributes to increased 90-day mortality independently.

Abstract

AKI after major hepatectomy is a common complication and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Postoperative AKI may be both an early risk factor for PHLF after major hepatectomy and independently contribute to 90-day mortality.
