Abstract:
Acute kidney injury remains a common and significant contributor to perioperative morbidity. Acute kidney injury worsens patient outcomes, and anesthesiologists should make significant efforts to prevent, assess, and treat perioperative renal injury. The authors discuss the impact of renal injury on patient outcomes and putative underlying mechanisms, evidence underlying treatments for acute kidney injury, and practices that may prevent the development of perioperative renal injury.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
