Prevention of acute kidney injury
View through CrossRef
The prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) should start with an assessment of the risk to develop AKI, by identification of co-morbidities, use of potentially nephrotoxic medications, and early recognition of acute reversible risk factors associated with AKI. This chapter discusses first the most relevant general risk factors for AKI and describes the recent introduction of several surveillance systems. In addition, some specific risk factors play a role in the pathogenesis of post-cardiac surgery AKI. Finally risks associated with commonly used drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, statins, and warfarin are considered.
