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.
