Core Tip

Core Tip: In this observational study, we examined the monitoring value of the hepatorenal index and renal resistive index for acute kidney injury in deceased-donor liver transplantation recipients. We conclude that the hepatorenal index and renal resistive index are non-invasive bedside indices that can identify the occurrence and recovery of acute kidney injury, which aids in the intervention and adjustment of treatment plans, thereby improving the prognosis of patients with acute kidney injury after liver transplantation.
