Acute kidney injury after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: Current epidemiology and potential prevention

International Urology and Nephrology Dec 20, 2017

Zabrocki L, et al. - This study involves a comparison between patients who underwent either endovascular aneurysm (EVAR) or open aortic repair (OAR) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (iAAA), focusing on acute kidney injury (AKI) frequency and severity, consecutive development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and potentially preventable and modifiable risk factors of AKI. As per the findings, following EVAR vs OAR, AKI was significantly less frequent and severe in iAAA patients. A higher CKD rate was noted in OAR patients. Also, it was observed that the identified risk factors may be prevented or modified as a bundle of measures especially in patients with pre-existing CKD to reduce AKI and its severity after iAAA repair.
