Observational StudyPerioperative Hyperchloremia and its Association With Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury After Craniotomy for Primary Brain Tumor Resection: A Retrospective, Observational Study.
Hyperchloremia is known to influence postoperative outcomes and may result in postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). This study sought to investigate whether hyperchloremia was associated with postoperative AKI in patients who underwent surgery for primary brain tumor resection. ⋯ Our study shows that perioperative hyperchloremia during PODs 0 to 3 was associated with an increased risk of postoperative AKI during this period after craniotomy for primary brain tumor resection.
