1) Fluid overload is associated with worse outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), including increased mortality and decreased renal recovery. Several studies have shown relationships between greater fluid accumulation and higher risk of death.
2) Fluid balance may also impact renal recovery - more positive fluid balances are linked to less renal recovery in some studies. Restricting fluids appears beneficial for outcomes in some patients.
3) Choice of IV fluid may also influence AKI risk. Hydroxyethyl starches (HES) and liberal albumin administration are associated with higher rates of AKI compared to crystalloids in some studies. Chloride-restrictive IV solutions may reduce AKI compared to chloride-liberal fluids.

Fluids in the PACU: The Impact on Acute Kidney Injury
1. Fluids in the PACU, the easy way out?
Max Bell
MD, PhD
Karolinska University Hospital/Karolinska Institutet
2. Importance
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after surgery
It is associated with increased mortality and long-term renal
dysfunction
Perhaps there is room for improvement, preoperatively,
intraoperatively and in the postoperative period
4. How dangerous?
•“At 10-year follow-up, adjusted cardiovascular-specific mortality
estimates were 6%, 11%, 12%, 19%, and 27% for patients with no
kidney disease, AKI with no CKD, CKD with no AKI, AKI with CKD, and
ESRD, respectively (P < 0.001).”
•Registry study (single center) of >50 000 patients
Ann Surg. 2016 Dec;264(6):987-996.
•”In eight studies that reported the short-term mortality, relative risk of
death in the presence of post-operative AKI was 12.6 fold (95% CI,
6.8-23.4).”
•Systematic review (in total n=82,514; 19 studies)
Intensive care medicine. 2016;42(4):521-30.
5. Pathophysiology (major surgery->AKI), simplified
•Major surgery involves large shifts in volume
•Hypotension is common (and perhaps underappreciated*)
•Blood loss
•Intraperitoneal insults can compromise renal blood flow
•Inflammation-surgical trauma
•Other adverse events like massive blood loss-transfusion, severe
hypotension, bacterial leakage, hypoxia etc
6. Pathophysiology (major surgery->AKI), simplified (2)
•Use of harmful substances for the kidney such as contrast media,
nephrotoxic antibiotics, and NSAIDs
•Preop:
•Advanced age
•Comorbidities (common+predispose to a greater risk of AKI)
•Diabetes
•Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
•Heart failure
•Demographic shifts: complex surgery is now performed in older and
more chronically ill patients, increasing the number of patients at risk
9. Prevention of postoperative AKI [preop]
•Identify patients at risk
•Advanced age
•CKD
•Multiple comorbidities
•Surgery during critical illness
•Surgery with an ongoing infection
•Planned surgery will compromise renal blood flow?
•Act
•Surgical approach in high risk patients (no data but endovascular
aortic repair>open AAA surgery with renal flow occlusion?)
•Correct anemia
10. Prevention of postoperative AKI [intraop]
•Identify patients at risk
•Advanced age
•CKD
•Multiple comorbidities
•Surgery during critical illness
•Surgery with an ongoing infection
•Planned surgery will compromise renal blood flow?
•Act
•Extreme vigilance with regards to hypotension – use patients own
baseline*
•Avoid hypovolemia
•Adequate (so, so easy to write) cardiac output
•Avoid (if possible) starch, contrast, aminoglycosides, NSAIDs
•Beware of hypervolemia!
•Transfusions when necessary
•Intraoperative oliguria – not always a trigger for volume!
•Diuretics in hypervolemia *if* positive response

•Multivariable analysis
13. Goal directed prevention of postoperative AKI [intraop]
•The OPTIMISE trial (major GI surgery) found a cardiac output-guided
fluid and vasopressor treatment algorithm to lead to fewer
postoperative complications (such as ischemic insults, respiratory
failure, and AKI), but no postop mortality reduction
JAMA 2014; 311: 2181–2190
•RCT of transpulmonary thermodilution to guide goal-directed therapy
neither found the intervention to increase the rate of achieved
hemodynamic targets (!) nor (unsurprisingly) to reduce the
postoperative increase in creatinine
•But same study - intraoperative hypotension and hypovolemia:
the most important risk factors for postoperative AKI
Crit Care 2016; 20:50
14. Fluids peri- and postoperatively
•OPTIMISE: total amount of iv fluids did not differ between the
treatment arms, ~4000 ml, but the intervention group received more
colloids of any type….even starch…
•Ok, so avoid starch (6S, CHEST etc)
•Balanced solutions>0.9% sodium chloride? (SPLIT trial, but more
data needed)
•RELIEF: restrictive vs liberal fluid therapy in major abdominal surgery
•Randomized 3000 patients and one endpoint is AKI assessed by
creatinine [to be published in 2018]
•Peri/postoperative oliguria – a trigger for fluids? Sometimes yes, more
often nope, nein, nichts, nihil, nej.

115(Suppl 2):ii3–ii14
15. More on fluids in the PACU
•A meta-analysis including RCTs comparing goal-directed therapy with
standard therapy in mixed patient populations found GDT to prevent
AKI – but….
•Wide periods of time – large shifts in how we use fluids, both with
regards to overall volume and type of fluid
Anesth Analg 2016; 122:173–185.
•The use of “maintenance fluids” in AUS/NZ has decreased
significantly from 2011-14
Crit Care Resusc 2016; 18:89–94
•Use of starch for obv reasons in decline; 67% reduction in AUS/NZ
and 82% in Denmark
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2017; 61:532–538.
Crit Care Resusc 2017; 19:134–141.
16. Fluids in the PACU: conclusions
•Varying definitions for AKI have distorted comparability of studies
•Around one-fifth of patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery
develop an increase in creatinine or oliguria or both
•AKI increases risk for postop adverse outcomes including death
•Recognizing high-risk patients preoperatively: important!
•Prompt treatment of intraoperative hypotension and
hypoperfusion
•Avoiding nephrotoxins
•The large multicenter RCT of restrictive vs liberal fluid
management in major abdominal surgery (RELIEF) will aid in how
to optimize perioperative fluid management

41. Over-zealous fluid resuscitation may lead to fluid overload.
Can fluid overload worsen AKI?
• Link between FO, abdominal compartment syndrome and
AKI (Dalfino, 2008 707-713)
• Elevated CVP strong predictor of progression of renal
failure in CHF patients (Mullens, 2009 598-596)
• AKI is associated with elevated renal interstitial pressure
(reflecting renal edema) (Herrler, 2010 40-46)
Summary
43. Prompt and targeted correction of volume deficit – may reduce later
volume requirements. Stop when preload is sufficient to generate
adequate CO – may require earlier or greater use ov vasopressors
Recommendations
Editor's Notes
Use of fluids and fluid overload: extremely difficult to draw conclusions from non-randomized trials
A large retrospective analysis in 2557 patient from our center that underwent right heart catheterization showed
that central venous pressure (CVP) is associated with estimated GFR (eGFR) in a bimodal fashion, with the
highest eGFR at a CVP of approximately 3 mmHg and a progressively lower eGFR in subjects with CVP above
5–6 mm Hg, comprising approximately one-third of the population. Remarkably, is shown in Fig. 1 , this bimodal
association was independent of cardiac index (the analysis was adjusted for age, sex and cardiac index)
The right figure shows the association between CVP and GFR according to different cardiac index values
A six-hour initial resuscitation bundle, including aggressive fluid administration was associated with better prognosis (Rivers, 2001). In that trial, fluid administration was greater in the
treatment group from 0 to 6 h, but, importantly, overall fluid administration was not significantly different between groups over the first 72 h
These data suggest that prompt, targeted resuscitation can spare later fluid requirements.

1120 pts with ARF from SOAP. In addition, multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that mean daily fluid was a significant and independent mortality predictor. Specifically, a 1 L positive fluid balance per 24 hrs was associated with an approximate 20% increase in mortality risk.
This trial was an observational study in which fluid status was estimated quantitatively in 610 AKI patients. Of these patients, approximately two-thirds (396) required some form of dialysis. Fluid balance was estimated by measuring the sum of all fluid inputs (e.g., intravenous fluids, medications, nutrition, etc) and the sum of all fluid outputs (e.g., urine, stool, nasogastric fluid, etc). On a daily basis, “fluid accumulation” was calculated as the difference in these sums divided by the body weight at the time of hospital admission. These measurements were made starting three days before nephrology consultation and continued until hospital discharge. The study defined “fluid overload” as a fluid accumulation value of greater than 10% (i.e., the point at which a patient sustained a fluid-related weight gain of 10% from baseline).
As shown in the table, the patients who met the 10% fluid overload criterion at the time of AKI diagnosis were more critically ill than patients with lesser degrees of fluid accumulation. The fluid overload group had significantly higher APACHE III and SOFA scores, higher number of organ failures, and higher percentage of patients with respiratory failure, ventilator dependence, and sepsis or septic shock. It should be noted that the outcomes reported below are adjusted for the greater illness severity in the fluid overload group.
From the 1000 participants in FACTT, Grams and coworkers identified 306 patients meeting AKIN criteria for stage 1 AKI in the first 2 study days. These patients were included in this post-hoc analysis of the relationship between fluid balance and mortality. Fluid balance was calculated as the mean daily difference between fluid intake and fluid output from the development of AKI until day 7, death or withdrawal from study.
Fluid balance was calculated as the mean daily difference between fluid intake and fluid output from the development of AKI until day 7, death or withdrawal from study. In a multiple logistic regression model adjusting for multiple co-variates, they found a 61% increase in the risk of death for every 1 L increase in mean fluid balance per day. This association was consistent through multiple sensitivity analyses and across gender, fluid strategy, early and late oliguria and severity of AKI.
This secondary analysis of data from a multicenter, prospective cohort study in 10 Italian ICUs examined the influence of fluid balance and urine volume on 28-day mortality among critically ill patients with AKI. 132 patients with AKI (defined by renal SOFA score). This Figure demonstrates the pattern of cumulative fluid balance among survivors and non-survivors in the first 7 days in the ICU. Non-survivors consistently had higher mean cumulative fluid balance throughout the ICU stay and the magnitude of the difference between the groups increased with each additional day.
The cox regression analysis showed that mean fluid balance was independently associated with mortality. In this analysis, for every 1 L increase in mean fluid balance per day, a 67% increase in the risk of death was observed.
Retrospective analysis of 170 hospitalized adult patients with AKI who required RRT. Appprox. 60% received CRRT as initial modality. Most patients (80%) were treated in the ICU. %FO = (weight at RRT initiation – baseline weight) x 100/Baseline weight
They found no difference in mortality. The RENAL trial tested high vs. low intensity CRRT in 1500 ICU patients, and found no difference in 90 day mortality.
The same authors recently performed a post-hoc crunch of the data from the original RCT. They created separate survival plots for patients with or without a positive mean daily fluid balance during the first two study days (left fig) and from day 2 and onwards. Both analyses showed increased mortality in patients with early or late positive fluid balance.
A negative mean daily fluid balance was associated with a nearly 70% reduction in 90-day risk of death. Negative fluid balance was also independently associated with increased RRT-free days and fewer ICU and hospital days (p < 0.01).
In dialyzed patients, mortality increased in relation to the proportion of dialysis days with fluid overload. In the ICU, use of CRRT allows slow progressive fluid removal compared to the use of intermittent hemodialysis which has been associated with progressive fluid overload
Isolated rat kidneys were perfused with a constant pressure and stepwise incrememnts in renal vein pressure were investigated. GFR and sodium excretion fell progressively with increasing venous pressure. The underlying mechanism is still unknown but interstitial edema, increased distal tubular pressure as well as effects on renal blood flow and humoral factors mays play a role,
A large retrospective analysis in 2557 patient from our center that underwent right heart catheterization showed
that central venous pressure (CVP) is associated with estimated GFR (eGFR) in a bimodal fashion, with the
highest eGFR at a CVP of approximately 3 mmHg and a progressively lower eGFR in subjects with CVP above
5–6 mm Hg, comprising approximately one-third of the population. Remarkably, is shown in Fig. 1 , this bimodal
association was independent of cardiac index (the analysis was adjusted for age, sex and cardiac index)
The right figure shows the association between CVP and GFR according to different cardiac index values
Fluid balance is not reported in these studies.
Schotgen an colleagues compared the effect of hyperoncotic albumin vs. crystalloids on kidney function and ICU mortality in patients with shock. Resuscitation with hyperoncotic albumin was associated with an increased risk of AKI and mortality. The SAFE study randomized 7000 ICU patients to either 4% Albumin or normal saline for fluid resuscitation and found no differences in 28-day mortality or renal outcomes.
