    Liver cirrhosis accounts for 2.4% of global deaths and has a 15% to 50% incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in affected patients.

  • 2

    Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a complex procedure with a high complication rate, including AKI.

  • 3

    Chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease are known risk factors for complications and mortality after ERCP.

  • 4

    This study aims to identify risk factors for dialysis-requiring AKI following ERCP in patients with liver cirrhosis.

    Data for this research were sourced from the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample, focusing on patients aged ≥20 years with liver cirrhosis.
