What are common predisposing factors for renal failure after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shock or hypovolemia: Did not specify is surgery is emergent, or elective. Motor vehicle wrecks can damage a great deal of muscle which leads to rhabdomyoloysis which leads to acute (reversible) renal failure. Likewise, low blood volume (e.g. Blood loss) or shock (from overwhelming infection, or blood loss or the kidneys getting insufficient blood (e.g. Surgeon clamps renal artery accidentally) may all be involved.
