Excerpt: Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with reported incidence rates ranging from 20 to 40% [1]. The development of cardiac surgery-associated AKI (CSA-AKI) is linked to adverse outcomes such as increased short- and long-term mortality, as well as prolonged hospital stays [1].
Despite its significance, the underlying mechanisms of CSA-AKI remain inadequately understood and research concerning optimization of perioperative management to mitigate CSA-AKI is needed [2].
