Acute Kidney Injury as a Risk Factor for Myocardial Injury and Ventricular Dysfunction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is classically described as an abrupt or rapidly reversible reduction in the excretion of nitrogenous waste products, including urea, nitrogen and creatinine. Acute kidney injury definition emphasizes on the filtration function of the kidney, a measure that is unique and easily and routinely measured .
Acute kidney injury is associated with significantly increased resource utilization and health care costs.
Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after non cardiac surgery are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The reported incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction (POMI) among patients undergoing non cardiac surgery is between 3% and 6%.
