The development of acute kidney disease (AKD) following total joint arthroplasty has not been well characterized in the literature. We sought to calculate the incidence and identify risk factors associated with postoperative AKD for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ A 6.8% incidence rate of postoperative AKD was noted in patients undergoing TKA or THA. Perioperative use of ARBs/ACEi, perioperative vancomycin use, and increased BMI were associated with increased odds of postoperative AKD.
