Transition from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease in liver cirrhosis patients: Current perspective

Figure 1 Diagrammatic representation of factors associated with chronic kidney disease in liver cirrhosis patients. Acute kidney disease due to various causes can progressed to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a significant proportion of cirrhosis patients. In addition, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and fatty liver disease, and certain etiological factors also increase the risk of CKD. AKI: Acute kidney injury; AKD: Acute kidney disease; CKD: Chronic kidney disease; DM: Diabetes mellitus; GI: Gastrointestinal; HBV: Hepatis B virus; HCV: Hepatitis C virus; HTN: Hypertension; HRS: Hepatorenal syndrome; MASLD: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

Figure 2 Transition of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease in cirrhosis patients: Natural history and management strategies. The progression from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease represents a continuum of renal dysfunction that occurs through an intermediary stage called acute kidney disease. AKD: Acute kidney disease; AKI: Acute kidney injury; CKD: Chronic kidney disease; NAKI: Non-acute kidney injury; SLKT: Simultaneous liver and kidney transplantation.
