Where this comes from

Abstract

Perioperative risks associated with acute hepatitis, cirrhosis, and chronic kidney disease are substantial and prevalence of underlying chronic kidney or liver disease is rising; surgeries in these populations have accordingly become more common. Optimal perioperative management in both cases is paramount; this article focuses on understanding disease pathophysiology, a targeted preoperative evaluation, accurate estimation of perioperative risk, and anticipation and management of common postoperative complications.
