Pre-Liver Transplant Renal Dysfunction is an Independent Predictor of Post-Liver Transplant Return to the Operating Room
H. M. Wadei, M. L. Mai, C. Taner, A. P. Keaveny, S. Mao, P. Abader, P. Kroner, K. Croome
Department of Transplant, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL
*Purpose: Pre-liver transplant (LT) renal dysfunction predicts worse outcomes post-LT but the reasons for this are unclear. We aimed at identifying the effect of pre-LT…

Incidence and Predictors of Post-Kidney Biopsy (KBx) Bleeding in Liver Transplant (LT) Candidates with Renal Dysfunction
H. M. Wadei¹, P. Abader¹, N. Aslam², T. Jarmi¹, A. P. Keaveny¹, K. Croome¹, D. D. Lee¹, C. Taner¹
¹Department of Transplant, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, ²Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL
*Purpose: Pre-LT kidney biopsy is seldom performed in LT candidates with renal dysfunction and/or proteinuria partially due to the limited information regarding KBx bleeding. We…
