  • Title: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury: pathophysiology and diagnostic modalities and management.
    Author: Leballo G, Chakane PM.
    Journal: Cardiovasc J Afr; 2020; 31(4):205-212. PubMed ID: 32555928.
    Abstract:
    Acute kidney injury is a disease spectrum that can present with from mild renal dysfunction to complete renal failure that would require renal replacement therapy. Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury is a complication that carries a grave disease burden. Risk factors are identified as being either modifiable or non-modifiable. This literature review aims to define the pathophysiology of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury, the current definition and classification of acute kidney injury and the available diagnostic modalities, especially the use of biomarkers.
