Postoperative acute renal failure (ARF) is a major factor of morbidity and mortality in colon and rectal surgery. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the frequency of ARF in colorectal surgery; and 2) to evaluate the impact of patient characteristics, comorbidities, resection type, pathology, surgical technique, and admission type on ARF.
