Impact of Pneumoperitoneum on the Development of Acute Kidney Injury: Comparison Between Normal and Diabetic Rats

Conclusion: The present study demonstrated a direct correlation between IAP elevation and the development of AKI. Diabetic rats were more sensitive to the deleterious effect of pneumoperitoneum, where urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels may be used as a future biomarker to predict postoperative AKI, especially in patients with diabetes.
