Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after vascular and cardiac surgery, increasing mortality. This review discusses AKI pathophysiology and recent advances in perioperative renal protection strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant complication following major vascular and cardiac surgical procedures.
  • AKI substantially increases patient mortality and reduces quality of life.
  • Despite advancements in understanding, effective prevention strategies for perioperative AKI remain limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury in the context of vascular and cardiac surgery.
  • To discuss recent developments and potential strategies for perioperative renal protection.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pathophysiology and recent advancements in perioperative renal protection.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on risk factors, mechanisms, and emerging therapies for AKI.

Main Results:

  • The review details the complex pathophysiology of AKI in surgical patients.
  • Emerging developments in perioperative renal protection are discussed, highlighting potential future interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Acute kidney injury remains a critical challenge in postoperative vascular and cardiac surgery.
  • Continued research into perioperative renal protection is essential to mitigate the impact of AKI.
