Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Researchers looked at 101 people who had a leg amputation for blood vessel disease. They found that certain factors, like low blood pressure during surgery, linked to kidney injury. This study shows a link, but it is not proof of cause. It helps doctors spot who is at higher risk.
