Trial summary

The incidence of acute kidney injury after liver transplantation has been reported to be 17 to 95 percent, but no definite treatment has been reported yet. Therefore, it is important to identify and prevent reversible risk factors for acute kidney injury after liver transplantation. Read more about this study

About this study

The incidence of acute kidney injury after liver transplantation has been reported to be 17 to 95 percent, but no definite treatment has been reported yet. Therefore, it is important to identify and prevent reversible risk factors for acute kidney injury after liver transplantation. Previous studies have reported several preoperative clinical risk factors, but preoperative medication and intraoperative colloid administration and hemodynamic parameters have not been evaluated. Therefore, we attempt to evaluate perioperative risk factors and develop simplified clinical risk scoring model.

Read the detailed description

Ischemia/reperfusion injury occurs during graft harvesting, cold storage, and surgical procedures in liver transplantation. Ischemia/reperfusion injury in liver graft results in major organ damage including kidney, lung and heart as well as graft dysfunction. Graft dysfunction and renal injury after liver transplantation are major clinical issues and are associated with prognosis and low survival rate. The incidence of acute kidney injury after liver transplantation has been reported to be 17 to 95 percent, but no definite treatment has been reported yet. Therefore, it is important to identify and prevent reversible risk factors for acute kidney injury after liver transplantation. Previous studies have reported several preoperative clinical risk factors, but perioperative medication, metabolic variables (albumin, glucose, uric acid), intraoperative colloid administration and hemodynamic parameters have not been evaluated. In addition, a neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which has been reported to be related to systemic inflammation and associated with prognosis of cardiac and cancer patients, might be related to the development of AKI after LDLT. Therefore, we attempt to evaluate these perioperative risk factors and develop simplified clinical risk scoring model.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Function and Liver Transplantation, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

acute kidney injury as defined by RIFLE criteria (time frame: during 7 days after transplantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
