Brief Summary
We want to measure the amount of a hormone called renin in people's bodies before and after they have major abdominal surgery. We want to see if changes in renin levels are connected to problems with blood flow, unstable blood pressure, and kidney damage after surgery.

Eligibility Criteria
Planned and unplanned emergency general surgical procedures. All surgical patients who have an intensive care bed booked, will be screened. To sample patients we will approach all patients who are booked to come to the ICU post operatively.
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18 years
- All patients having abdominopelvic surgery (planned or unplanned) needing ICU admission where arterial line or central line will been placed
- Able to provide consent, or personal/professional agreement
You may not qualify if:
- Patient \< 18 years old at time of screening
- Patients already receiving vasopressor support pre-operatively
- Receiving palliative care at the time of recruitment or expected to die within next 24 hours
- Those on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) or end stage kidney disease (ESKD)
- Patient or consultee unable to communicate in verbal and written English
- Patients held in an institution by legal or official order
