Independent risk factors for AKI of model 3 included: body-mass index >27.5 kg/m2 [odds ratio (OR) 2.46], serum albumin <3.5 mg/dl (OR 1.76), MELD score >20 (OR 2.01) operation time >600 min (OR 1.81), warm ischemic time >40 min (OR 2.61), postreperfusion syndrome (OR 2.96), mean blood glucose during the day of surgery >150 mg/dl (OR 1.66), cryoprecipitate > 6 units, blood loss/body weight >60 ml/kg (OR 4.05), and calcineurin inhibitor use without combined mycophenolate mofetil (OR 1.87). Here, ALB is linked to acute kidney injury.
