Article Synopsis
- Oliguria, a condition characterized by decreased urine output, may be misinterpreted as acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients post-surgery, despite being a potential adaptive response during surgery.
- A study analyzing 1,476 patients revealed that 34.4% exhibited oliguria within the first 24 hours after surgery, with certain factors like vasopressor use and non-elective procedures linked to increased risk.
- Although oliguria was associated with a higher rate of AKI development compared to non-oliguric patients, 87.6% of oliguric patients did not show kidney dysfunction based on serum creatinine levels, questioning the accuracy of oliguria as an indicator for AKI.
