Abstract

          Acute kidney injury is a common postoperative crisis in the elderly that can develop preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative. The elderly are vulnerable to a variety of complex risk factors such as the aging process, chronic comorbidities, surgical techniques, and other complications, resulting in more suffering between surgery for severe acute kidney injury than those of other ages. It causes prolonged hospitalizations or continuous renal damage replacement treatment due to severe consequences or high mortality. The elderly's quality of life can be decreased, thus trained nurses play a crucial role in caring for the elderly at each step of the operation, such as by analyzing signs and symptoms, eliminating risk factors for acute kidney injury, addressing avoidable causes, and minimizing additional long-term complications. The purposes of this article are to raise awareness among professional nurses about the crisis, symptoms, and indicators to prevent the severity of sudden acute kidney injury after surgery. Thus, the nurses can care for the elderly who have received proper kidney replacement therapy, which helps to prevent future chronic renal failure and improves the elderly's quality of life after surgery.
