Excerpt

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery patients. In this context, the recent paper by Kim et al., showing that a peri-operative liberal ‘saline- and starch-based’ fluid management significantly enhanced the incidence of severe post-operative AKI in off-pump cardiac surgery patients, is to be acclaimed [1]. …
