Since 1963, lung transplantation progress has surged due to immunosuppressive agent advancements. In 2004, 1,815 global lung transplantations were reported. Elderly recipients face impaired lung function and health instability, leading to potential respiratory complications post-surgery. Postoperative acute renal injury (AKI) can cause temporary or chronic dysfunction, increasing hospitalization, complications, and additional treatment needs. Various factors contribute to postoperative renal dysfunction after lung transplantation, including sustained hypoperfusion, bleeding, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, and medications. Retrospective analysis of adult lung transplant patients' records aims to explore characteristics, anesthesia methods, intraoperative tests, and postoperative acute renal dysfunction, analyzing incidence and risk factors to develop a machine learning predictive model.
