Abstract
Purpose of review: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at high risk to develop cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) postoperatively. CS-AKI is associated with an increased risk for persistent renal dysfunction, morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes the epidemiology and pathophysiology of CS-AKI, as well as current treatment and prevention strategies.
Recent findings: As AKI is a syndrome with complex pathophysiology, no causative treatment strategies exist. Recent advances in the field of AKI biomarkers offer new perspectives on the issue and the implementation of biomarker-guided preventive strategies may reduce rates of CS-AKI. Finally, nephroprotective treatments and angiotensin II as a novel vasopressor may offer new opportunities for high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Summary: Based on the described novel approaches for early detection, prevention and management of CS-AKI, a precision-medicine approach should be implemented in order to prevent the development of AKI in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
