Perioperative Acute Kidney Injury: Implications, Approach, Prevention

Aditi Balakrishna et al. Adv Anesth. 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Acute kidney injury remains a common and significant contributor to perioperative morbidity. Acute kidney injury worsens patient outcomes, and anesthesiologists should make significant efforts to prevent, assess, and treat perioperative renal injury. The authors discuss the impact of renal injury on patient outcomes and putative underlying mechanisms, evidence underlying treatments for acute kidney injury, and practices that may prevent the development of perioperative renal injury.

Keywords: Acute kidney injury; Anesthesiology; Renal; Surgery.
