The role of intraoperative parameters on predicting laparoscopic abdominal surgery associated acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic abdominal surgery has been widely used to reduce the length of hospital stay and complications from open abdominal surgery. During the operation, the creation of pneumoperitoneum is used for better visualization of the operating field. However, the effect of pneumoperitoneum on kidney function is unknown. We aimed to identify risk factors and predictors associated with AKI development following laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Methods

A single-center prospective cohort study of laparoscopic abdominal surgery patients between June 2012 and December 2013. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was identified by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (uNGAL) was measured on the first 3 days after su
