The incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of acute kidney injury after minor lower-limb amputations
AKI is a potential complication following minor lower-limb amputations. Age, COPD, diuretics, fluoroquinolones, and carbapenems were associated with increased incidence of AKI. An eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup>, day-1 C-reactive protein, and fluoroquinolone use were identified as independent risk factors for AKI.
