STAR Liver TalkX | Session 1 | Case 2: Renal Dysfunction and Transplant Decisions in Cirrhosis

STAR Liver TalkX | Session 1 | Case 2

Renal dysfunction in patients with advanced liver disease often presents complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially when transplant decisions must be made.

This case-based panel discussion examines a cirrhotic patient with refractory ascites and rising creatinine who was evaluated for liver transplantation. The session explores how acute kidney injury should be assessed in the pre-transplant setting, why elevated creatinine does not always signify hepatorenal syndrome, and how careful clinical judgment is required to differentiate reversible renal injury from chronic kidney disease.

The panel also discusses factors influencing the choice between liver transplant alone and combined liver and kidney transplantation, along with perioperative renal support strategies and the importance of vigilant renal monitoring after transplant to ensure optimal outcomes.
