Is acute kidney injury after cardiothoracic surgery associated with increased long-term mortality?
Patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) post-surgery
No AKI (implied)
Long-term mortalityhard clinical
AKI after cardiothoracic surgery confers a persistently high risk of death for up to 10 years, even in patients who achieve complete renal recovery.
The risk of death associated with AKI after cardiothoracic surgery remains high for 10 years regardless of other risk factors, even for those patients with complete renal recovery. Improved renal protection and closer postdischarge follow-up of renal function may be warranted.
