Abstract
Background
Chronic-kidney-disease (CKD) is prevalent among adults undergoing noncardiac surgery, with surgery-related factors potentially worsening CKD or triggering acute kidney injury (AKI). We hypothesized that CKD patients experience more kidney function decline within one to two years post-surgery than those without CKD, particularly if they develop AKI.
Methods
We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study, including noncardiac surgery patients with documented creatinine preoperative and between 1 and 2 years after surgery. The primary outcome was long-term course of kidney function, defined as the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in mL/min/1.73m2.
Results
Of 58,175 included cases, 17 % had preoperative CKD. Mean eGFR changed from 90.1 ± 16.7 to 92.0 ± 18.8 in non-CKD patients and from 45.6 ± 11.9 to 55.6 ± 20.1 in patients with CKD, with an estimated difference in means of 8.9 (95 % CI: 8.5, 9.3; P < 0.0001). There was a significant interaction between CKD-dependent eGFR change from baseline to follow-up and postoperative AKI (P = 0.001). For cases with preoperative CKD, eGFR increase from baseline to follow-up was 11.7 ± 18.0 with no AKI, 7.7 ± 17.9 with AKI stage 1, 2.4 ± 15.0 with AKI stage 2, and 7.3 ± 25.8 with AKI stage 3. For non-CKD patients, eGFR increased from baseline by 2.3 ± 13.7 with no AKI but decreased by 5.5 ± 19.0 with AKI stage 1, 7.7 ± 21.8 with AKI stage 2, and 9.3 ± 21.3 with AKI stage 3.
Conclusions
Contrary to expectations, patients with preoperative CKD experienced a significant improvement in eGFR postoperatively. Patients without CKD exhibited minimal change. Postoperative AKI negated the eGFR improvement in CKD patients and exacerbated the decline in non-CKD patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
