The effect of acute kidney injury after revascularization on the development of chronic kidney disease and mortality in patients with chronic limb ischemia

Objective This study examined the effect of perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) on long-term kidney dysfunction and death after lower extremity revascularization. Perioperative AKI is commonly seen in the form of mild rises of serum creatinine after major cardiovascular surgeries. Its effect on...

Description
Summary:Objective This study examined the effect of perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) on long-term kidney dysfunction and death after lower extremity revascularization. Perioperative AKI is commonly seen in the form of mild rises of serum creatinine after major cardiovascular surgeries. Its effect on long-term survival and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well established in cardiac surgery patients. However, there are no data on the effect of AKI on long-term outcomes after revascularization for lower limb ischemia. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the patients with peripheral arterial occlusive diseases who underwent endovascular or surgical revascularization of the lower extremities from 2001 through 2010. All demographic and clinical information have been maintained prospectively by the surgeon and followed up by the research team. Perioperative AKI was defined as rises of ≥0.3 mg/dL in serum creatinine from the values measured preoperatively. The primary end points were development of CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate
