Content: Advancing age is more often associated with acute renal failure after surgery than young age is, particularly for people who already have kidney disease. Diminished kidney function prior to surgery: A person who already has diminished kidney function is more likely to experience acute renal failure after surgery than someone who does not have kidney problems. Other medical conditions: If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes, you are at a higher risk of acute renal failure after surgery. Type of surgery: Having a major surgical procedure on your heart or blood vessels causes changes in blood flow and may increase your risk of acute renal failure after surgery. Medical complications: Traumatic injuries, significant blood loss, low blood pressure, decreased oxygen levels, or septic shock before, during, or after surgery can also increase the chances of developing acute renal failure. This is due to the inability of the kidney to function as it should when exposed to these conditions.
