Text Extraction

Acute Renal Failure (ARF) in the perioperative setting is a significant complication of anesthesia and surgery. More than half of all acute hemodialysis patients have ARF in the perioperative setting. The mortality rate for perioperative ARF remains between 20-80% depending upon the patient’s comorbidities Perioperative ARF results from many etiologies. However, more than 90% of cases of perioperative ARF are due to relative hypovolemia and inadequate renal perfusion.
