Renal replacement therapy in infants and children with hepatorenal syndrome awaiting liver transplantation: A case‐control study
C. Elizabeth Parsons, Raoul Nelson, Linda S. Book, M. Kyle Jensen – 1 September 2014 – Limited data on short‐ and long‐term outcomes of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in pediatric liver transplantation (LT) patients exist. We evaluated risk factors for RRT in pediatric LT recipients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) and described the outcomes. We performed a single‐center, case‐control study of LT recipients who required RRT for HRS from 1999 to 2011. Three controls who did not receive RRT were matched with each case on the basis of age, diagnosis, and LT date.
