TY - JOUR T1 - Renal disease and the surgical patient: Minimizing the impact JF - Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO - Cleve Clin J Med SP - 559 LP - 567 DO - 10.3949/ccjm.85a.17009 VL - 85 IS - 7 AU - Kanav Sharma AU - Barbara Slawski Y1 - 2018/07/01 UR - http://www.ccjm.org/content/85/7/559.abstract N2 - Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in patients scheduled for surgery and increases the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury, major adverse cardiac events, and death. Acute kidney injury is a common complication of cardiac and noncardiac surgery and negatively affects both short-and long-term outcomes. If we can detect underlying CKD and other risk factors for acute kidney injury before surgery, we may in theory be able to give preventive therapies and improve perioperative outcomes. ER -
