Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with adverse outcomes after liver transplantation(LT). The impact of intraoperative urine output(UO) on post-LT AKI remains unclear. 660 consecutive LT patients between 01/2015–12/2020 were analyzed. The rates of non-AKI, AKI-I, severe AKI(AKI-II and -III) were 51.5%, 22.7% and 25.8%. 38.1% and 89.1% AKI cases were developed during operation or within 72h after LT. As AKI severity rose, the proportion of SAKI patients remarkably increased from 19.3% to 65.7% and creatinine maintained at significantly higher levels within one year. SAKI patients had inferior 90-day, 1- and 3-year survival compared with non-AKI and AKI-I patients (p<0.001). Low UO was independently associated with SAKI and continuous renal replacement therapy(p<0.001), with best cut-off of 1.84ml/kg/h(AUC 0.780) and 1.38 ml/kg/h(AUC 0.838). Low UO(<1.84ml/kg/h) was an independent risk factor for major adverse kidney events(OR 2.262, p=0.002), 90-day mortality(HR 3.795, p<0.001), and one-year mortality(HR 2.877, p<0.001). Patients experiencing both low UO and AKI had the worst 3-year patient survival compared with those having either low UO or AKI(p < 0.001). In conclusion, SAKI was mainly developed in operation. Intraoperative UO was a strong predictor for SAKI and should be carefully monitored to guide patient management and early intervention for renal dysfunction.
