Background & AimsAcute kidney injury is a frequent and ominous complication in cirrhosis. An episode of AKI damages the functional nephron mass, compromising the renal functional reserve. We aimed to study the incidence of AKI, probability of subsequent episodes, whether AKI itself predisposes to future AKI and the reliability of serum cystatin C(sCyC) as a biomarker in a prospective cohort of cirrhotics.Patients and MethodsFive hundred and thirty-one cirrhotics without ongoing AKI were followed for development/resolution of AKI. Predictive models for AKI and mortality were developed and validated (Gr. A, Derivative cohort [n=273], Gr. B, Validation Cohort [n=258]).Results365 episodes of AKI occurred in 233 patients; yielding a mean of 1.56 episodes of AKI per patient. In Gr. A and B, 97 (35.5%) and 78 (30%) patients had prior AKI episodes and were predisposed to further attacks (Gr. A, HR 3.9, 95% CI 2.7-5.6, Gr. B, HR 3.6, 95% CI 2.5-5.4). AKI was thus an independent predictor of the development of new AKI(P
