Abstract: This book presents up-to-date information on the clinical-pathophysiological features of acute renal injury and discusses the KDIGO diagnostic criteria, as well as novel experimental findings, including in the area of regenerative medicine. It also highlights the clinical-pathophysiological importance of AKI in clinical settings, including differential diagnoses and management of AKI. In the past, the pathology associated with sudden renal impairment was characterized as acute renal failure (ARF). However, in the 2000s, the joint efforts of specialists in fields including nephrology, intensive care medicine, and cardiovascular medicine led to the introduction of a novel concept known as acute kidney injury (AKI). As medical care progressed, patients such as high-risk elderly subjects who were not deemed to be candidates for invasive therapy came to be treated in intensive care units (ICUs). As a result, kidney injury as a subset of multiple organ failure was re-considered as AKI, especially in intensive care medicine. AKI was then proposed as a novel disease concept to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention to improve prognosis. Presenting novel features, such as the definition of AKI, risk factors and management; biomarkers, such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and L-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP); long-term outcomes of AKI; as well as renal regeneration using iPS cell, manipulation of embryonic genes, and Xenotransplanted embryonic kidney, this book is of interest to all physicians and researchers in this field around the globe.

The kidneys participate in all vital processes of the body to maintain overall homeostasis and health. When kidneys are injured during surgical interventions, metabolic and hemodynamic control is disrupted, leading to dysfunction associated with greater mortality, length of hospital stay, and cost. Peri-operative Kidney Injury presents the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes associated with kidney injury during the peri-operative period.

Abstract: The kidneys participate in all vital processes of the body to maintain overall homeostasis and health. When kidneys are injured during surgical interventions, metabolic and hemodynamic control is disrupted, leading to dysfunction associated with greater mortality, length of hospital stay, and cost. Peri-operative Kidney Injury presents the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes associated with kidney injury during the peri-operative period. Concepts and principles of care to prevent kidney complications during surgical procedures are provided to equip health care professionals along with strategies to manage acute kidney injury and associated challenges when they occur. Chapters detail diverse surgical settings, ranging from the more common, such as abdominal, cardiac, and vascular surgeries, to the intricately complex, including the use of the left ventricular assist device and organ transplants. This practical and comprehensive text blends the evidence-based standards of care with cutting edge advances in the field, while also providing the reader with a peek into innovations on the horizon.

Contents: Part I Peri-operative AKI: Overview and Approach -- 1 Incidence, Trends and Diagnosis of Peri-operative AKI -- 2 Serious peri-operative complications: Hospital Medicine Perspectives -- 3 Role of Novel Kidney Injury Biomarkers in Perioperative AKI -- 4 Clinical Pearls: Renal Replacement Therapy for AKI in the Post-operative Period -- 5 Clinical Pearls: Non-dialytic Management of Kidney Complications in the Post-operative Period -- 6 Intra-Operative Considerations to Prevent Post-Operative AKI -- Part II Cardiac and Vascular Surgery -- 7 AKI after Cardiac Surgery in Adults -- 8 AKI after Cardiovascular Surgery in Children -- 9 AKI in the Era of Ventricular Assist Devices -- 10 Kidney Injury after Vascular Surgery -- Part III Abdominal and Urologic Surgery -- 11 AKI after Major Abdominal Surgery: Epidemiology and Management Challenges -- 12 Kidney Injury in Abdominal Compartment Syndrome -- 13 Kidney Function and Injury after Nephrectomy for Kidney Cancer -- Part IV Transplant Surgery -- 14 The Kidney in Non-Renal Solid Organ Transplantation: Liver and Heart -- 15 Acute Allograft Injury After Kidney Transplantation -- Part V Special Topics in Peri-operative AKI -- 16 Trauma and Acute Kidney Injury -- 17 Fluid-Electrolyte Imbalances and Extra-Corporeal Therapy in the Neurosurgical Setting -- 18 Nutrition in Peri-operative Patients with Kidney Failure.

Abstract: This book describes the techniques, strategies, and drugs that have been demonstrated by at least one paper published in a peer-reviewed journal to significantly influence survival in patients with or at risk for acute kidney injury. Each chapter focuses on a specific intervention. The scope is accordingly wide, with coverage of topics as diverse as the type, timing, and dose of renal replacement therapy (RRT), anticoagulation and specific indications for RRT, perioperative hemodynamic optimization, fluid balance, diuretics, colloids, fenoldopam, terlipressin, N-acetylcysteine, and vasopressin. A variety of settings are considered, including critically ill patients, cardiac surgery, and hepatic and hematologic disorders. The topic selection was made using a democracy-based approach in which hundreds of specialists from dozens of countries expressed, via the web, whether they agreed with these topics and whether they used the techniques in their daily clinical practice. The clear text is supported by "how to do" sections and "key point" boxes that provide easily accessible practical information. The book will be of interest for a wide variety of specialists, including intensivists, nephrologists, emergency doctors, and anesthesiologists.

Contents: Part I. Introduction -- Acute kidney injury: the plague of the new millennium -- Acute kidney injury: definitions, incidence, diagnosis, and outcome -- Reducing mortality in acute kidney injury: the democracy-based approach to consensus -- Part II.
