Core Tip

Core tip: Postoperative acute kidney injury has a significant effect on patient outcomes and has been associated with longer hospital stays, high risks of in-hospital and long-term mortality. Urology patients are a high-risk group for acute kidney injury (AKI) because of the common occurrences of obstructive uropathy, older age, and chronic kidney disease, as well as postoperative complications. The purpose of this review is to discuss the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology, risk factors, outcomes, prevention, and treatment of AKI associated with prostatic surgery.
