Pre-Transplant Left Atrial Volume Index as a Predictor of One-Year Morbidity after Kidney Transplantation: Insights and Implications

Highlight

1. Pre-transplant left atrial volume index (LAVI) >34 mL/m2 was associated with increased one-year morbidity after kidney transplantation.
2. The association showed a graded relationship across LAVI tertiles, suggesting a dose-response effect.
3. No individual post-transplant complication category reached statistical significance, though non-cardiac complications showed a similar trend.
4. Other echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular ejection fraction, were not predictive of the composite morbidity outcome.
