The risk factors of acute kidney injury and perioperative management after esophagus cancer surgery by MA Hu-sai, CAI Yi-xin, ZHANG Ni, FU Xiang-ning

“…Objective To explore the risk factors and clinical significance of acute kidney injury(AKI),and perioperative management after resection of esophageal carcinoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 397 cases of AKI after esophageal cancer operation,and AKI-related factors were analyzed.Results In 397 cases undergoing esophageal cancer surgery,AKI occurred 25 cases,including 15 cases of stage I,4 cases of stage Ⅱ,and 6 cases of stage Ⅲ,with the total prevalence rate being 6.3%.Twenty-one cases were discharged from the hospital(84%),and there were 4deaths(16%).Comparison of related factors of AKI and non-AKI:There was no significant difference in age,coronary heart disease,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,preoperative SCr,preoperative chemotherapy,number of removed lymph nodes,intraoperative blood loss,operation time and.postoperative ventilator time between AKI and non-AKI(P>0.05).There were significant differences in hypertension,diabetes mellitus,postoperative lung infection and non-kidney organ failure between AKI and non-AKI(P<0.05).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed hypertension,diabetes mellitus,postoperative lung infection and non-kidney organ failure were independent risk factors associated with AKI after resection of esophageal carcinoma.Conclusions AKI is common complications and easy to be ignored after resection of esophageal carcinoma.Attention should be paid to the common causes of AKI,and the perioperative management should be strengthened for the presence of AKI risk factors.…”
