Acute kidney injury (AKI) post-abdominal surgery occurs in 16% of patients, with risk escalating by stage and procedure type. Notably, AKI correlates strongly with increased short-term (risk ratio 6.46) and long-term mortality (risk ratio 6.36), alongside extended hospital stays. The analysis identified 25 risk factors for AKI and highlighted that tailored blood pressure management can significantly cut AKI rates (risk ratio 0.67) amid a backdrop of ineffective other interventions.
