Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and multifactorial complication after liver transplantation (LT). Myoglobin (Mb) which can be served as O2 storage and delivery depot is present in muscles and cardiac myocytes. Previous studies had shown the close relationship between Mb and AKI. But there is a lack of clinical studies for Mb with the risk of AKI due to LT. This study was performed to determine the association between the serum level of Mb and incidence of AKI in patients underwent LT.
