Renal dysfunction is common in patients undergoing liver transplant (LT) evaluation, thereby making it imperative for hepatologists to know how to diagnose, manage, and optimize treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease. This article reviews pre-transplant, peri-transplant, and post-transplant AKI diagnosis and management, and the role of renal replacement therapy in LT candidates.
