Acute kidney injury (AKI) is related to mortality and morbidity. The De Ritis ratio, calculated by dividing the aspartate aminotransferase by the alanine aminotransferase, is used as a prognostic indicator. We evaluated risk factors for AKI after radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). This retrospective study included patients who performed RRP. Multivariable logistic regression analysis and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were conducted. Other postoperative outcomes were also evaluated. Among the 1415 patients, 77 (5.4%) had AKI postoperatively. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that estimated glomerular filtration rate, albumin level, and the De Ritis ratio at postoperative day 1 were risk factors for AKI. The area under the ROC curve of the De Ritis ratio at postoperative day 1 was 0.801 (cutoff = 1.2). Multivariable-adjusted analysis revealed that the De Ritis ratio at ≥1.2 was significantly related to AKI (odds ratio = 8.637, p &lt; 0.001). Postoperative AKI was associated with longer hospitalization duration (11 ± 5 days vs. 10 ± 4 days, p = 0.002). These results collectively show that an elevated De Ritis ratio at postoperative day 1 is associated with AKI after RRP in patients with prostate cancer.
