Impact of liberal versus restrictive fluid management on acute kidney injury after nephrectomy: a randomised controlled trial with cystatin C evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: A liberal intraoperative fluid strategy significantly reduced the incidence of AKI following nephrectomy. Serum cystatin C outperformed creatinine in the early detection of AKI, suggesting a liberal fluid strategy may be preferable to reduce AKI risk, and cystatin C may serve as a useful early AKI biomarker. →
