Renal, Urological, and Microbiological Perspectives on Acute Kidney Injury Following Colectomy
Keywords:
acute kidney injury; colectomy; urinary tract infection; intraoperative hypotension; uNGAL.Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication following major colorectal surgery (colectomy), with multifactorial pathophysiology implicating renal perfusion disruption,urinary tract manipulations, and postoperative infections. This prospective observational study evaluated renal, urological and microbiological factors associated with postoperative AKI in adult patients undergoing elective colectomy
