TLDR
While interventional trials showed that timely implementation of recommendations reduces the rate of moderate and severe AKI postoperatively, adherence to guidelines is disappointingly low in routine clinical practice.
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) often complicates critical illness. Management is supportive as outlined in the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline, as specific therapeutics to reverse AKI are lacking [1]. While interventional trials showed that timely implementation of these recommendations reduces the rate of moderate and severe AKI postoperatively, adherence to guidelines is disappointingly low in routine clinical practice [2, 3]
