Acute Kidney Injury Post Hip Fracture Surgery: Local Quality Improvement Project and Review of Literature

We need strategies to reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI, like AKI alert on laboratory results, IV fluid prescription preoperatively since the arrival of patients to the ED, avoiding/stopping nephrotoxic medications on admission, regular review of postoperative renal function tests and fluid balance, especially in high-risk patients, increase nursing staff and junior doctors on wards over weekends, and we need to review our policy of giving postoperative IV antibiotics.
