Background

The importance of acute kidney disease (AKD), the condition of which acute kidney disease (AKI) has not recovered, is being emphasized because it increases the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although, there was a lack of large-scale cohort study on AKD after non-cardiac surgery.

Methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study from three tertiary referral center in South Korea. Among patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery over than 1 hour from 2014 to 2020, AKI was defined as whether the KDIGO AKI criteria were satisfied within 7 days after surgery. AKD was defined as a case of not recovering to less than 1.5 times from baseline creatinine within 7 days after peak creatinine after surgery in AKI group. The information of death event and initiation of renal replacement therapy were collected at 90 days after surgery.
Logistic regression was used to investigate the risk factors that AKI progressed to AKD. In multivariate logistic regression, only variables with p-value less than 0.2 in univariate analysis were considered.

Results

A total of 178,565 patients were enrolled and 11,047 (6.2%) cases of AKI events were occurred. In whole population, 442(0.2%) patients newly started RRT and 2,157 patients dead (1.2%). 594 (8.2%) patients were progress to AKD and patients who progressed AKD had more risk of all-cause mortality and ESRD progression. (Figure 1)
In multivariate logistic regression, surgery from urology (Odd ratio [OR] 2.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.62-2.80, p=<0.001 Table 1) and neurosurgery (OR 2.05, CI 1.16-4.62, p=0.014) department and leukocytosis (OR 1.04, CI 1.00-1.07, p=0.024) were associated with increased risk of progression to AKD. Patients who diagnose with malignancy before surgery (OR 0.62, CI 0.43-0.88, p=0.008) had lower risk of progression to AKD in the present study cohort.

Conclusion

Considering high mortality and poor renal outcome of AKD patients, physicians need pay attention to the occurrence of post-operative AKD after non-cardiac surgery.
