Associations Between Acute Kidney Injury and Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes After Coronary Angiography

Abstract

Background-Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with early mortality after percutaneous coronary revascularization procedures, but its prognostic relevance to long-term clinical outcomes remains controversial.

Acute kidney disease and renal recovery: consensus report of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) 16 Workgroup

“…As the evidence linking AKI with loss of kidney function [45][46][47][77][78][79][80] , hypertension 81,82 , cardiovascular disease 49,50,83 , and death 46,[83][84][85][86][87] accumulates, determining the optimal care for this growing population is critical. The American Society of Nephrology AKI Advisory Group has highlighted the transition of care as a potential opportunity to reduce the long-term impact of AKI 88 , and hence, AKD.…”

Renal Function is the Main Predictor of Acute Kidney Injury after Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair

“…Using up-to-date precise AKI reporting criteria that included urine output measurements, we recently documented that elective EVAR can lead to AKI in 18.8% of patients (in a cohort of 149 patients), which was associated with mortality and cardiovascular morbidity over the medium-term (7). Further to EVAR, AKI after various types of surgical or radiological intervention has been independently associated with higher morbidity, prolonged length of hospital stay, cost, short-term mortality (8)(9)(10), as well as decreased long-term survival (11)(12)(13)(14)(15). As a result, preventing AKI is crucial in improving outcome, especially in populations at high-risk, such as those undergoing EVAR.…”

Acute Kidney Injury in Diabetic Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Role of Acute and Chronic Glycemia

“…In‐hospital mortality has been shown to be 20 times higher in AMI patients who experience AKI compared with those without this complication 3. Moreover, a close association has been established between AKI development during AMI and increased long‐term morbidity and mortality, persistent loss of kidney function, and risk of progression to end‐stage renal disease 4, 5…”
