Book Chapter Description

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication. The incidence of AKI after surgery is high, especially after specific types of surgeries. The development of postoperative AKI is associated with an increased length of stay, need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), risk of readmission, and mortality. It is crucial that perioperative consultants and surgical teams evaluate patients for risk factors associated with postoperative AKI, take steps to prevent renal injury, and mitigate injury when AKI occurs.
