Conclusion
Renal complications post-cardiac surgery can be detrimental if not
recognised promptly. There is a need for extensive trials to validate
novel prediction scores and hence minimize the occurrence of the most
common complication i.e. acute kidney injury. Similarly, early
recognition of AKI can prevent the patient from progressing on to
developing long-term complications such as chronic kidney injury.
