- A 55-year-old woman with diabetes and end-stage heart failure developed irreversible acute kidney injury (AKI) after heart transplantation, requiring permanent dialysis.
- Postoperative complications included opportunistic infections, septic shock, and malnutrition, leading to anuric renal failure and cardiorenal syndrome type 1.
- Identified risk factors for irreversible AKI post-heart transplant include diabetes, pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD), and early AKI.
- Deterioration of renal function after heart transplantation is linked to high risks of hospitalization, cardiovascular events, and death.
- The article discusses pathophysiologic mechanisms and preventive and curative measures for such cases.
