The literature on perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) focuses mainly on cardiac and major vascular surgery. Among noncardiac general surgery procedures, intraabdominal general surgery has been identified as high risk for developing AKI, but variations in AKI risk and its impact on 30-day mortality among different types of abdominal surgeries are not well characterized.
