Renal Artery Malperfusion after Aortic Dissection: Clinical Diagnosis and Correlation with Acute Kidney Injury
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after aortic dissection and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes.Potential mechanisms contributing to AKI after aortic dissection include renal malperfusion or underlying renal dysfunction from comorbidities.While renal malperfusion is the one acutely treatable cause of AKI, the association of AKI with ongoing renal artery malperfusion and the clinical ability of physicians to identify renal malperfusion is unknown.
