Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between preoperative and postoperative hypoalbuminaemia and acute kidney injury (AKI) in the hip fracture surgery in elderly patients.MethodsA total of 160 patients aged ≥65 years were scanned retrospectively. They were grouped into four as the preoperative albumin level of <3.8, preoperative albumin level of >3.8, postoperative day 2 albumin level of <2.9 and postoperative day 2 albumin level of >2.9. In the beginning and 7 days, age, gender, white blood cell, haemoglobin, haematocrit, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, albumin values, fever, anaesthesia method, presence of blood transfusion, surgical period, hospitalisation durations and expenses in the postoperative period were recorded for all the patients.ResultsIn the study, 92 women and 68 men were scanned. AKI was observed in 28 (17.5%) patients, and 16 (57.1%) patients were determined in stage 1. AKI development in Group 1 and Group 3 was significantly high (p<0.05). Advanced age, multiple drug usage, postoperative glucose level and blood product transfusion during the operation were significantly associated with AKI (p<0.05). The hospitalisation period and cost were high in patients with AKI (p<0.05).ConclusionIt was determined that hypoalbuminaemia was associated with AKI development, and preoperative or postoperative hypoalbuminaemia affected AKI development at similar rates. Advanced age, multiple drug usage, postoperative glucose level and blood product transfusion during the operation were associated with AKI.
