Is intraoperative hypotension associated with persistent acute kidney disease in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Intraoperative hypotension during noncardiac surgery is associated with persistent acute kidney disease and increased healthcare utilization.
Intraoperative hypotension is associated with persistent but not delayed acute kidney disease. Both types of acute kidney disease appear to be associated with increased healthcare utilisation. Correction of intraoperative hypotension is a potential opportunity to decrease postoperative kidney injury and associated costs.
