Abstract

Background : Either suprarenal or infrarenal aortic clamping markedly reduces renal blood flow. This aortic clamping may cause postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods : Fifty-four patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery were included in a retrospective study. Postoperative AKI defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine (Cre) of more than or equal to 0.3 mg · dl-1 or an increase in Cre of more than or equal to 50% within 48 hours after the end of the procedure. Results : Thirteen patients developed AKI, but none of them required dialysis. The patients with AKI had higher preoperative Cre, longer operation, longer clamp time and more use of diuretics intra- and postoperatively. Conclusions : AKI occurred in 24.1% of patients undergoing AAA surgery. Risk factors for AKI were preoperative Cre, operation time, clamp time and use of diuretics.
