Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Surgical Risk Reduction Project - 3/2/2023
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, morbid, and costly surgical complication. Current efforts to understand and manage AKI in surgical patients focus on prevention, mitigation of further injury when AKI has occurred, treatment of associated conditions, and facilitation of renal recovery. The ability to detect AKI within hours of onset would be helpful in protecting the kidney and in preserving renal function by utilizing AKI risk tool and workflow in progress and working with the healthcare team.
This conference is being held virtually.
