Kidney injury is a common complication after liver transplantation, including acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Kidney injury in liver transplant recipients seriously affects their long-term survival and life quality, and is one of the main causes of death after liver transplantation. In order to standardize and optimize the diagnosis and treatment of kidney injury in liver transplant recipients, Branch of Organ Transplant of Chinese Medical Association and Branch of Organ Transplant Physicians of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organize experts to develop the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for Kidney Injury Management of Liver Transplant Recipients in China (2023 Edition)" to adapt to the rapid development of diagnosis and treatment. The guideline is based on "Chinese expert consensus on management of kidney injury in liver transplant recipients (2017 edition)" and in conjunction with recent evidence-based medicine and clinical practice experience in China. This guideline focuses on the definition, classification, assessment and preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative prevention and treatments of kidney injury in liver transplant recipients. By presenting a series of scientifically standardized recommendations, the guideline is aimed to optimize the management of kidney injury in liver transplant recipients in China.
