Early acute kidney injury after liver transplantation: Predisposing factors and clinical implications

Figure 1 Bar graphs demonstrating median time to extubation and intensive care unit length of stay in the absence or presence of acute kidney injury. ICU: Intensive care unit; AKI: Acute kidney injury.

Figure 2 Bar graphs demonstrating the presence of acute kidney injury and use of continuous veno-venous haemofiltration in context of the severity of hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury. Mild HIRI n = 35; moderate HIRI n = 68; severe HIRI n = 13. AKI: Acute kidney injury; CVVHF: Continuous veno-venous haemofiltation; HIRI: Hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury.

Figure 3 Increasing severity of hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury compared with median time to extubation and median intensive care unit length of stay. ICU: Intensive care unit; HIRI: Hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury.

Figure 4 Median time to extubation and median intensive care unit length of stay in groups with the combined absence or presence of acute kidney injury and hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury. ICU: Intensive care unit; AKI: Acute kidney injury; HIRI: Hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury.
