Acute kidney injury following exploratory laparotomy and temporary abdominal closure

摘要

BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) following exploratory laparotomy and temporary abdominal closure (TAC) is poorly understood but clinically significant. We hypothesized that the prevalence of AKI would be highest 96 hours following TAC, early hypoxemia would predict AKI, and that AKI would be an independent predictor of mortality.
