Development and Validation of an Enhanced Prediction Score for Postoperative Acute Renal Failure After Liver Resection

Post-operative acute renal failure is a severe post-operative complication and is associated with high mortality. The enhanced prediction score, including pre-as well as intra-operative predictors accurately predicted ARF following hepatic surgery. This prediction score allows early identification of patients at high risk of ARF and may support decision-making for protective kidney treatment.
