Proteinuria in Liver Transplantation, a Single Egyptian Center Study

Proteinuria has been suggested to be a predictive factor and an important tool for differentiating the etiology of renal dysfunction in various clinical scenarios .The good predictive performance of preoperative proteinuria utilized for the development of renal failure after operation has been reported . In the literature, prognostic significance of several scoring systems for end-stage liver disease has been validated . The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) system was found to be superior to ChildPugh points (CP points) and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and postoperative day 7 SOFA had the best discriminative power for predicting 3-month and 1-year mortality after liver transplantation . Renal dysfunction is one of the most significant adverse events in patients awaiting or undergoing a liver transplant, and its occurrence generally indicates a high rate of poor prognosis

Inclusion Criteria:A total of 70 patients with end-stage liver disease received liver transplant will be included.Exclusion Criteria:Patients less than 18 years of age.Patients with end-stage renal disease.
