(6/26, Phend) reports, "Acute kidney injury appears to be an
increasing problem in cardiac and vascular surgeries," according to a study
published online in the CMAJ. Investigators found that "severe cases
marked by need for acute dialysis after major elective surgery --
although rare -- rose year over year from a rate of 0.2% in 1995 to 0.6%
in 2009." This "increase was primarily in cardiac and vascular
surgeries."
