ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate factors associated with acute kidney injury(AKI) in postoperative colorectal cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 376 colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients at Department of General Surgery, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Jan 2018 to Jun 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into acute kidney injury (AKI) ( n=29) and non-AKI groups ( n=347). The demographic information, perioperative status, laboratory results and other relevant data of the two groups were compared . Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for postoperative AKI. Results:Twenty-nine CRC patients (7.7%) had postoperative AKI. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative hypertension ( OR=3.487, 95% CI: 1.081-11.251, P=0.037), anemia ( OR=3.158, 95% CI: 1.114-8.953, P=0.031), inadequate intraoperative crystalloid infusion ( OR=0.998, 95% CI: 0.997-0.999, P=0.007), low intraoperative mean arterial pressure ( OR=0.915, 95% CI: 0.863-0.970, P=0.003) and moderate to severe postoperative decline in hemoglobin levels ( OR=4.105, 95% CI: 1.487-11.335, P=0.006) were independent risk factors. Conclusion:Preoperative hypertension, anemia, inadequate intraoperative crystalloid infusion, low intraoperative mean arterial pressure, and moderate to severe postoperative decline in hemoglobin levels were independent risk factors for AKI development in colorectal cancer patients.
