Brief Summary

The aims of the study are to identify the incidence, risk factors and long-term adverse renal outcome of patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.

**Primary Objective:**

To identify the incidence of AKI on postoperative day 3 in adult patients undergoing emergency laparotomy**.**

**Secondary objectives**

To assess if preoperative arterial blood lactate level and lactate clearance can be used to predict

1.     To identify the incidence of AKI on postoperative day 7 in adult patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.

2.     To identify risk factors of AKI following emergency laparotomy.

3.     To identify in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay and requirement of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in these patients

4.     To identify long-term adverse renal outcome at 3 months in those developing postoperative AKI

**Study design:** Prospective observational study

**Study Setting:** Single centre study in Emergency operation theatre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

**Study population:**

Adult patients of either sex aged between 18 and 65 years undergoing emergency laparotomy.

**Exclusion criteria**

1)    Previous history of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on renal replacement therapy.

2)    History of AKI within 1 week before surgery and being treated with renal replacement therapy.

3)    Refusal to consent.

**Sample size**:

Anticipated frequency of post-operative AKI following emergency laparotomy is around 7- 20%. With a conservative estimate of 10% incidence and 5% confidence limit, n=139 patients will be required.
