Acute renal failure faced in perioperative period is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is of great import for anesthesiologists to understand the type of the surgery or the patients, in which a risk of precipitation of perioperative renal failure is increased. The risks for renal failure have been classified as surgery-related (e.g. vascular surgery) or patient-related (e.g. preexisting renal disorder, diabetes mellitus etc). A meticulous evaluation of perioperative risks, a careful intraoperative management, and finally realizing renal protection, can guarantee a better outcome. This review is intended to describe the risks of renal injury, the mechanisms of injury and suggest interventions to prevent perioperative renal failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
