Acute Kidney Injury After Elective Total Joint Arthroplasty

November 29, 2023 updated by: Dr. Chan Chi-Wing, The University of Hong Kong

Incidence and Duration of Acute Kidney Injury After Elective Total Joint Arthroplasty With The Use of Perioperative Celecoxib as One of the Multimodal Analgesia Regime: A Retrospective Case Control Study

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a common orthopedic procedure to treat patients with end-stage knee arthritis. Over 4,000 TJA were performed in the Hong Kong public hospitals in the past 12 months (July 2020 - June 2021) and the demand for this procedure is ever increasing with time. TJA are rehabilitative surgeries with an aim to accelerate patient ambulation and minimize hospital stay. To facilitate this process, multi-disciplinary enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs are implemented. This involves surgeons, anaesthetists, physiotherapists and nurses who follow an integrated care pathway to allow early patient mobilization and hospital discharge. The program reduces the hospital length of stay and this can reduce the risk of complications and mortality. One of the major challenges in TJA is postoperative pain. TJA is a very painful procedure with up to 50% of patients have moderate to severe pain (numeric rating scale >4) immediately after surgery. This can delay patient mobilization and hinder postoperative recovery. Severe postoperative pain is also associated with an increased risk of infection, myocardial ischaemia, respiratory complications and the development of chronic pain. Therefore, an effective multimodal analgesia is an essential component in the ERAS program. It combines different oral analgesics to limit opioid use and its related side effects. Celecoxib has been shown to reduce pain and opioid use after TJA. It is therefore recommended to be used routinely. However, its potential nephrotoxic property has led to its judicious use, especially in patients with preoperative chronic renal failure. Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is an independent risk factor for mortality, cardiovascular complications and hospital length of stay6. However, the studies assessing the incidence of AKI following TJA are scarce, and with conflicting results.

Therefore, the aim of our study is to retrospectively review the incidence and duration of AKI following elective TJA in a tertiary institution. We will evaluate the effect of celecoxib in our multimodal analgesia regimen on the risk of postoperative AKI and determine the risk factors associated.
