Acute Kidney Injury | Procedure: pathogenesis of perioperative acute kidney injury Diagnostic Test: urine collection |
During hospitalization, a urine sample will be collected and additional tests will be added to the daily standard of care blood samples before, during and three times following an elective surgical procedure.
Study participants will complete telephone interviews at 6 and 12 months after discharge from the hospital with a study team member. The telephone interview will consist of a short questionnaire asking about state of health and a health survey.
At the same times of the phone interviews, the study team will mail a urine dipstick that is used to detect any amount of protein in the urine. Study participants will be asked to urinate on dipstick and send it back to the study team in provided shipping material.
Healthy Controls will be enrolled to establish baseline values for kidney health based upon a single urine collection and a brief health questionnaire.

- Occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (pAKI) [ Time Frame: up to 7 days after surgery. ]PostoperativeAKI is a change outcome of an increase of greater than or equal to 50% of creatinine from initial level prior to surgery until postoperative day 7.
- Change from baseline in urine protein biomarkers at 4 hours after surgery [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4 hours after surgery ]Change in urine protein biomarkers (urine insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2)) from prior to surgery (baseline) to four hours after surgery.
- Change from baseline in urine protein biomarkers at postoperative day 1 [ Time Frame: Baseline, day 1 after surgery ]Change in urine protein biomarkers (urine insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2)) from prior to surgery (baseline) to postoperative day 1
- All cause mortality [ Time Frame: 12 months post-discharge from the hospital. ]Time-to-Event Outcome Measure followed for the duration of study enrollment and specifically measured at 12 months post-discharge from the hospital.
- Prolonged mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]Time-to-Event Outcome Measure taken when mechanical ventilation is greater than 48 hours during hospitalization.
- chronic kidney disease (CKD) [ Time Frame: 12 months post-discharge from the hospital. ]This outcome will be assessed using urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio (dipstick) mailed to study participants to urinate on and send back to the study team in provided shipping material at 12 months post-discharge from the hospital.
- all cause mortality [ Time Frame: up to 6 months ]Time-to-Event Outcome Measure followed for the duration of study enrollment and specifically measured at hospital discharge.
- all cause mortality [ Time Frame: 6 months post-discharge from the hospital. ]Time-to-Event Outcome Measure followed for the duration of study enrollment and specifically measured at 6 months post-discharge from the hospital.
- chronic kidney disease (CKD) [ Time Frame: 6 months post-discharge from the hospital. ]This outcome will be assessed using urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio (dipstick) mailed to study participants to urinate on and send back to the study team in provided shipping material at 6 months post-discharge from the hospital.
