Excerpt
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-known complication of both cardiac and major non-cardiac surgeries, with relevant prognostic implications [
1]. Its incidence is quite variable depending on both patient and surgery characteristics. The fact that AKI is associated with an increased perioperative morbimortality leads to the rationale that an early detection of its development is a potential way to mitigate its progression and, perhaps, ameliorate patient's outcome. …
