Positive association between intra-operative fluid balance and post-operative acute kidney injury in non-cardiac surgery: the NARA-AKI cohort study.
Little is known about the association between intra-operative fluid balance (IFB) and post-operative acute kidney injury (AKI) in non-cardiac surgery. ⋯ Higher IFB was independently associated with increase in post-operative AKI. Excessive fluid administration might have caused renal congestion and subsequent AKI. Avoiding fluid overload might be important in prevention of AKI.
