Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiovascular Surgery: An Overview

Abstract: Acute kidney injury is a complication of open-heart surgery that carries a poor prognosis. Studies have shown that postoperative renal function deterioration in cardiovascular surgery patients increases in-hospital mortality and adversely affects long-term survival. Identifying individuals at risk for developing AKI and aggressive early intervention is extremely important to optimize outcomes. This paper provides an overview of the etiology, prognostic markers, risk factors, and prevention of AKI and treatment… Show more

“…), multiple organ failure and other factors. [16][17][18][19][20] Therefore, it is necessary to strictly monitor patient's hemodynamics to reduce volatility of renal perfusion. In addition, for high-risk patients with insufficient effective circulating blood volume, these drugs should be used with caution at early stage of post-operation in addition to closely monitoring changes in renal function.…”

“…AKI might also result from atheroembolic renal insult, hemoglobinuria or myoglobinuria, age, hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and the use of anti-inflammatory non-steroidal or radio-contrast dye immediately prior to surgery [40]. However, the most predictable risk factor for AKI is pre-existing chronic kidney disease [41].…”

“…The diagnosis of AKI is based on two functional markers, an increase of serum creatinine and a reduction of urinary excretion. Predictors of perioperative AKI in patients undergoing heart surgery include preoperative creatinine level, endstage renal disease, 2-2 phenotype of haptoglobin, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, generalized atherosclerosis, cardiovascular collapse, nitric oxide, cyanotic heart disease, duration of surgery and elevated postoperative lactate level [4][5][6][7][8][9]. In patients with severe AKI, oliguria and fluid accumulation, renal replacement therapy is the basic method of treatment [10].…”
