Abstract: Liver transplant is the treatment available for eligible patients with end-stage liver cirrhosis. Acute kidney injury and electrolyte abnormalities are associated with liver disease and can be exacerbated by surgery. Intraoperative renal replacement therapy has been tried in some large centres. The authors discuss the physiological changes and complications during liver transplant surgery, and review literature on the safety, feasibility, benefits, and drawbacks of intraoperative renal replacement therapy during liver transplant surgery.
