Abstract
The assessment of preoperative kidney function and comorbidity status is essential to identify patients at risk of postoperative AKI. In addition to preoperative chronic kidney disease stages II and III, neurovascular disease, obesity, and surgical approach (RN or open) represent predictors of 30-day AKI. Careful patient selection as well as preoperative planning may help reduce this unfavorable postoperative outcome.
