Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious clinical syndrome, and one of the common comorbidities in the perioperative period. AKI can lead to complications in surgical patients and is receiving increasing attention in clinical workup. In recent years, the analysis of perioperative risk factors has become more in-depth and detailed. In this review, the definition, diagnosis, and pathophysiological characteristics of perioperative AKI are reviewed, and the main risk factors for perioperative AKI are analyzed, including advanced age, gender, certain underlying diseases, impaired clinical status such as preoperative creatinine levels, and drugs that may impair renal function such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NASIDs), ACEI/ARB, and some antibiotics. Injectable contrast agents, some anesthetic drugs, specific surgical interventions, anemia, blood transfusions, hyperglycemia, and malnutrition are also highlighted. We also propose potential preventive and curative measures, including the inclusion of renal risk confirmation in the preoperative assessment, minimization of intraoperative renal toxin exposure, intraoperative management and hemodynamic optimization, remote ischemic preadaptation, glycemic control, and nutritional support. Among the management measures, we emphasize the need for careful perioperative clinical examination, timely detection and management of AKI complications, administration of dexmedetomidine for renal protection, and renal replacement therapy. We aim that this review can further increase clinicians' attention to perioperative AKI, early assessment and intervention to try to reduce the risk of AKI.

Abstract Objectives To investigate the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Methods A retrospective study exploring the incidence of AKI in patients older than 75 years within 48 hours after abdominal surgery was conducted. Patients' preoperative characteristics, intraoperative management including medication and outcomes were evaluated for associations with AKI using a logistic regression model.Results During the 2.5-year period, a total of 409 abdominal surgeries were performed. Both pre- and post-operative SCr measurements were available for 329 (80.4%) cases. 26 patients (7.9%) developed AKI, of whom 25 (7.6%) and 1 (0.3%) reached the AKI stages 1 and 2 respectively. Older age (83.0 vs 80.4 years; p=0.002), preoperative liver function damage represented by AST (47.5 vs 21.0 IU/L; p=0.023), intraoperative combined administration of hydroxyethyl starch(HES) and furosemide (15.38% vs 1.65%; p=0.003) were independent risk factors for the development of postoperative AKI. Furthermore, AKI patients had significantly longer ICU stay (3 vs 0 days; p<0.001) and higher in-hospital mortality (23.08% vs 2.31%; p<0.001)Conclusion Intraoperative combined administration of HES and furosemide is an independent factor which can be controlled by anesthesiologists and surgeons for AKI. This provides important recommendations for reducing the incidence of postoperative AKI.

Кidney injury is a frequent and significant complication of cancer and cancer therapy. The kidneys are susceptible to injury from malignant infiltration, damage by metabolites of malignant cells, glomerular  injury, nephrotoxic drugs including chemotherapeutic agents. Also  bone marrow transplantation complications, infections with immune  suppression (including septicemia), tumor lysis syndrome should be  taken into account. Chemotherapeutic agents are a common cause  of acute kidney injury but can potentially lead to chronic kidney  disease development in cancer patients. This article summarizes risk  factors of acute kidney injury in cancer patients. Risk factors are  divided into two groups. The systemic are decrease of total  circulating blood volume, infiltration of kidney tissue by tumor cells,  dysproteinemia, electrolyte disturbances. The local (renal) risk  factors are microcirculation disturbances, drugs biotransformation  with formation of reactive oxygen intermediates, high concentration of nephrotoxic agents in proximal tubules and its  sensitivity to ischemia. Drug-related risk factors include: drugs  combination with cytotoxic effect high doses long term use necessity, direct cytotoxic effect of not only chemotherapeutic agents but also its metabolites, mean solubility forming intratubular  precipitates. Early diagnosis, timely prevention and treatment of  these complications provide significantly improve nononcologic results of treatment.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the connection between malnutrition evaluated by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and the risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in elderly patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 1308 patients aged over 75 years undergoing PCI was included. Based on the CONUT score, patients were assigned to normal (0–1), mild malnutrition (2–4), moderate-severe malnutrition group (≥ 5). The primary outcome was CA-AKI (an absolute increase in ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or ≥ 50% relative serum creatinine increase 48 h after contrast medium exposure). Results Overall, the incidence of CA-AKI in normal, mild, moderate-severe malnutrition group was 10.8%, 11.0%, and 27.2%, respectively (p < 0.01). Compared with moderate-severe malnutrition group, the normal group and the mild malnutrition group showed significant lower risk of CA-AKI in models adjusting for risk factors for CA-AKI and variables in univariate analysis (odds ratio [OR] = 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.89, p = 0.02; OR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.26–0.82, p = 0.009, respectively). Furthermore, the relationship were consistent across the subgroups classified by risk factors for CA-AKI except anemia. The risk of CA-AKI related with CONUT score was stronger in patients with anemia. (overall interaction p by CONUT score = 0.012). Conclusion Moderate-severe malnutrition is associated with higher risk of CA-AKI in elderly patients undergoing PCI.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome characterized by rapid impairment of kidney function. The incidence of AKI and its severe form AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D) has been increasing over the years. AKI etiology may be multifactorial and is substantially associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The outcome of AKI-D can vary from partial or complete recovery to transitioning to chronic kidney disease, end stage kidney disease, or even death. Predicting outcomes of patients with AKI is crucial as it may allow clinicians to guide policy regarding adequate management of this problem and offer the best long-term options to their patients in advance. In this manuscript, we will review the current evidence regarding the determinants of AKI outcomes, focusing on AKI-D.
