Recovery versus non-recovery of renal function following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in patients with pre-OLT renal dysfunction grouped according to their need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). Recovery of renal function following OLT was defined as a composite end point of a serum creatinine (SCr) ≤1.5 mg/dL at discharge and survival of ≥29 days. Patients included in our analysis were those who possessed pre-OLT renal dysfunction, defined as any of the following: (1) SCr ≥2 mg/dL at any time while awaiting OLT, but not requiring RRT (SCr ≥2 mg/dL, no dialysis); (2) need for RRT at registration, but not at OLT (dialysis at registration only); (3) need for RRT at OLT, but not at registration (dialysis at transplant only); (4) need for RRT at both registration and OLT (dialysis-dependent).
