Cardiac Surgery Acute Kidney Injury Angiotensin Ii

Description

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined by changes in serum creatinine and/or urine output, according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. In cardiac surgical patients, the AKI rate is up to 30%, with 1-2% of the patients requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). Cardiac-surgery associated AKI (CSA-AKI) is associated with increased short- and long-term morbidity and mortality as well as increased hospital costs. Shock after cardiac surgery is also associated with increased mortality. In the context of cardiac surgery with the use of the cardiopulmonary bypass (C...
