Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Surgery: Prediction, Prevention, and Management.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in cardiac surgery patients, with a reported incidence of 20 to 30%. The development of AKI is associated with worse short- and long-term mortality, and longer hospital length of stay.
