Acute renal failure after transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: a retrospective study of the incidence, risk factors, clinical course and long‐term outcome

Abstract

Acute renal failure after transarterial chemoembolization appears to be dose-related and is associated with the severity of cirrhosis. Patients with diabetes mellitus or Child-Pugh class B more frequently develop prolonged acute renal failure, which in turn is a poor prognostic predictor.
