Abstract

While preventing AKI is not always feasible (in part because many patients present to the hospital with ongoing AKI), mitigating its consequences is within closer reach, with blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) after AKI appearing to be one of the most promising approaches. The authors reported a similar risk of AKI in the year following discharge of patients with AKI and treated with ACEi/ARB or not treated. Hsu CY, Liu KD, Yang J, et al: Renin-angiotensin system blockade after acute kidney injury (AKI) and risk of recurrent AKI. [Extracted from the article]
