Abstract
You are asked to review a 67 year old man. He is 48 h following a hemicolectomy and complains of abdominal pain. He is drowsy but rousable, his heart rate is 97 beats per min, his blood pressure 97/60 mmHg. You note his empty catheter bag and discover he has been completely anuric for the last 9 h. You suspect he has developed acute kidney injury from a post-operative infection.
