Postoperative AKI occurs in 7.5% of patients with previously normal renal function after major noncardiac surgery and is strongly associated with increased hospital mortality.
Patrick T. Murray (2009) conducted an editorial in Postoperative acute kidney injury (n=1,166). Acute kidney injury vs. No acute kidney injury was evaluated on Hospital mortality (OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.41 to 6.93, p=0.005). Postoperative acute kidney injury was an independent risk factor for hospital mortality (OR 3.12) in adults undergoing noncardiac surgery.
