“…A formal determination of functional renal reserve with a kidney stress test 126 rarely is indicated for more precise risk stratification among patients without apparent CKD, but with considerable risk due to age or other comorbidities such as heart failure, hypertension, COPD, diabetes or liver disease. General health factors of importance include the overall comorbidity burden and assessment of frailty and nutritional status 127–130 . This assessment is one part of our overall preoperative patient assessment, and informs our decision-making on preoperative optimization and which procedure to offer the patient if any.…”

AKI is a common postoperative complication among vascular surgery patients and has a significant impact on morbidity, mortality, and cost. Preoperative risk assessment and optimal perioperative management guided by that risk assessment can minimize the consequences associated with postoperative AKI. Adherence to a standardized perioperative pathway designed to reduce risk of AKI after major vascular surgery offers a promising clinical approach to mitigate the incidence and severity of this challenging clinical problem.
