Hemoglobin and Kidney Injury After Liver Transplant, 724 Patients

724 patients undergoing their first orthotopic liver transplantation at the Medical University of Vienna between January 2004 and December 2019 were studied. Paul Lichtenegger authored this retrospective analysis linking perioperative hemoglobin concentrations to postoperative acute kidney injury and mortality. Higher hemoglobin levels were associated with a lower probability of AKI (OR 0.847; P < 0.001), and stage 3 AKI was linked to increased mortality.

Use Cases

• Predicting acute kidney injury risk based on preoperative hemoglobin concentrations mentioned in the description
• Analyzing associations between severe AKI stages and 1-year mortality rates mentioned in the description
• Modeling the impact of nadir hemoglobin levels within 48 hours post-transplant on AKI probability mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Includes 724 patient records from a single-center study
• Provides specific statistical associations (e.g., OR 0.847 for AKI)
• Covers a 15-year time range from January 2004 to December 2019

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may reflect temporal and institutional bias inherent to a single-center retrospective study
