Preoperative renal and LV dysfunction should guide perioperative risk stratification; confirms consistent predictors but leaves open standardized definitions for meta-analysis.
What preoperative risk factors predict postoperative acute renal failure in patients undergoing surgery?
Preoperative renal dysfunction and left ventricular dysfunction are consistent predictors of postoperative acute renal failure, highlighting the need for standardized definitions in perioperative risk assessment.
