title: Acute kidney injury after TAVI: Predict, detect, and prevent.
abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently observed immediately after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Both classifications, the RIFLE (the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage Kidney) and the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) from the VARC-2 (Valve Academic Research Consortium-2) are fairly interchangeable and performed well as clinical predictors of all-cause mortality. Patients with baseline reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) or known atherosclerotic arterial disease are at increased risk of AKI.
