Renal Resistive Index and Acute Kidney Injury in Aortic Surgery: An Observational Pilot Study

Acute kidney Injury (AKI) is a common perioperative complication in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery, increasing mortality, morbidities and costs. Recently, growing interest has risen in the use of  renal resistive index (RRI) as predictor of perioperative AKI. Aim of this study was to evaluate the role of RRI variation to identify postoperative AKI.
