Association Between Left Ventricular Geometry and Early Acute Kidney Injury Following Orthotopic Liver Transplantation.

Key takeaways

In 409 people who had liver transplants between 2014 and 2020, those with certain heart shape changes were more likely to get early kidney injury after surgery. This study shows a link between heart structure and kidney problems, but it does not prove that fixing the heart would prevent kidney injury.
