Current Status Of Diagnosis And Treatment Of Cardiac Surgery-associated Acute Kidney Injury

Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is one of the major perioperative complications that account for severe consequences. Up to date,outcomes due to CSA-AKI is still fatal. This may partly be explained that AKI has historically suffered from heterogenous definitions,and a delay in initiating renal protective and appropriate therapeutic measures.Thus,the prevention and treatment of CSA-AKI is particularly important. In this paper, we review available studies and focus on the pathogenesis, risk prediction,early detection,outcomes and promising protection strategies for CSA-AKI,in order to sum up experiences and understand the disease better,furthermore to provide a reference for relative studies.
