AbstractPerioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. The incidence of AKI varies depending on preoperative risk factors and the surgical setting. Preoperative risk stratification is critical for informed consent and perioperative planning. Perioperative renal protection strategies are potentially invaluable in the prevention of AKI. Current advances in the development of biomarkers may offer the opportunity for early diagnosis and the implementation of therapeutic strategies. Increased awareness and concerted efforts by all perioperative physicians are needed to provide an improved outcome for surgical patients. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
