Introduction: Renal failure is regularly observed after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and therefore contributes to morbidity and time of hospitalization. Metabolic risk factors for acute renal failure (ARF) after OLT are lacking. Hence we searched for the impact of metabolic markers such as glycosylated hemoglobin (HBa1c) on the incidence of acute renal failure post OLT. Methods: In this retrospective single-center study of OLT recipients (n = 172) we searched for prevalence rates of renal failure during a 2-year follow-up after OLT. We searched for base line risk factors associated with new onset of ac…
