Conclusion

AKI is potentially an important quality indicator of elective joint surgery, and reducing its incidence is therefore essential for quality improvement. Given that hip and knee arthroplasties are projected to increase exponentially, as is the burden of comorbid conditions in this population, postoperative AKI will continue to have an incremental impact on health and health care resources. Thus, a carefully planned approach of interdisciplinary perioperative care is warranted to reduce both the risk and the consequences of this devastating condition.
