Recipient status at 6 months post-LT
| Status at 6 mo after LT | Recipients, n (%) |
|---|---|
| CKD stage (eGFR, ml/min per 1.73 m2) | |
| 1 (90≤ eGFR) | 182 (8.6) |
| 2 (60≤ eGFR <90) | 445 (21.1) |
| 3 (30≤ eGFR <60) | 691 (32.7) |
| 4 (15≤ eGFR<30) | 84 (4.0) |
| 5 (nonrecovery) | 163 (7.7) |
| Re-transplant ≤6 mo after LTa | 46 (2.2) |
| Death ≤6 mo after LTa | 443 (21.0) |
| Unknown renal function | 58 (2.7) |
| Total | 2112 (100.0) |
The definition of CKD is based upon the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative Clinical Practice Guidelines. LT, liver transplantation; eGFR, estimated GFR based upon the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease four-variable equation.

Participants who died or were re-transplanted within 6 months of the index liver transplant were not evaluable for CKD stage or ESRD status.
