Acute kidney injury but long-term consequences!
1st June 17:00-18:00
Acute kidney injury is a common problem in hospitalised patients, often occurring in the context of severe illness, e.g. sepsis, COVID-19, heart failure or post operatively. AKI is associated with increased in-patient mortality. Although the majority of patients with AKI recover kidney function, a significant proportion are left with long term chronic kidney disease and associated elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. This webinar will highlight recent clinical and translational approaches to addressing both AKI and its long-term sequelae.
