| Core Tip |
Preoperative/perioperative dexmedetomidine administration was associated with a modest reduction in postoperative serum creatinine following liver transplantation; however, this effect did not translate into a consistent reduction in clinically meaningful renal outcomes such as acute kidney injury. Significant heterogeneity in creatinine measurement timing, outcome definitions, and analytical approaches across studies further limits interpretation, highlighting the need for standardized protocols and trials focused on clinically relevant renal endpoints. |
