Patients with preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a 26.6% rate of acute kidney injury (AKI) following abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), compared to 11.8% for those with normal renal function. At one year, 6.9% of previously healthy individuals develop new CKD, while nearly 20% of CKD patients see their condition worsen. Postoperative AKI strongly predicts CKD progression, prompting recommendations for rigorous perioperative risk assessment and proactive renal monitoring in high-risk cohorts.
