Early renal function post-liver transplantation is predictive of progressive chronic kidney disease.

• With improvements in long-term results after liver transplantation, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a highly relevant problem. The early measurement of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can identify those patients who are at risk of developing CKD years after liver transplantation. The aims of this study were to describe the prevalence of CKD 5 years after liver transplantation, to study the correlation between measured GFR early after transplantation and late renal function and to identify patients at risk of developing late CKD after liver transplantation.
