Intraoperative albumin use and postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT: The beneficial effects of albumin use have been suggested in various clinical settings including critically ill patients. However, the association between intraoperative albumin administration and acute kidney injury (AKI) after noncardiac surgery is unclear. This is a retrospective, hospital registry-based study including 39,336 adult patients who underwent intermediate to high risk noncardiac surgery between January 2011 and June 2019 at single tertiary hospital. The patients were divided into two groups based on exposure to 5% albumin during intraoperative period. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI within seven days after surgery. Among 39,336 patients, 1725 (4.4%) patients were administered 5% albumin during the intraoperative period. The incidence of AKI was 3.4% (1285/37,61
