Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective intervention for portal hypertensive complications, but its effect on renal function is not well-characterized. Here, we describe renal function and characteristics associated with renal dysfunction at 30-days post-TIPS.Adults with cirrhosis who underwent TIPS at nine hospitals in the US 2010-2015 were included. We defined "post-TIPS renal dysfunction" as a change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (?eGFR) = -15ml/min/1.73m2 and eGFR = 60ml/min/1.73m2 , or new renal replacement therapy (RRT) at day 30. We identified the characteristics associated with post-TIPS renal dysfunction by logistic regression and evaluated survival using adjusted competing risk regressions.Of 673 patients: median age 57 years, 38% female, 26% had diabetes, median MELDNa 17. Thirty days post-TIPS, 66 (10%) had renal dysfunction, of which 23 (35%) required new RRT. Patients with post-TIPS renal dysfunction, compared to those with stable renal function, were more likely to have NAFLD (33% versus 17%, p = 0.01) and comorbid diabetes (42% versus 24%, p < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regressions showed NAFLD (OR 2.04, 95%CI 1.00 to 4.17, p = 0.05), serum sodium (OR 1.06 per mEq/L, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.12, p = 0.03), and diabetes (OR 2.04, 95%CI 1.16 to 3.61, p = 0.01) were associated with post-TIPS renal dysfunction. Competing risk regressions showed those with post-TIPS renal dysfunction were at higher sub-hazard of death (sHR 1.74, 95%CI 1.18 to 2.56, p = 0.01).In this large multi-center cohort, we found NAFLD, diabetes, and baseline serum sodium associated with post-TIPS renal dysfunction. This study suggests that patients with NAFLD and diabetes undergoing TIPS evaluation may require additional attention to cardiac and renal comorbidities prior to proceeding with the procedure.
