| Popis: | BACKGROUND: The effects of acute kidney injury (AKI) extend beyond the acute illness phase. Patients who survive AKI are at increased risk of hospital readmission, chronic disease including kidney and cardiovascular disease, frailty and death. AKI may be overlooked among more obvious or complex healthcare concerns. While developing a cogent, systemic response to care after AKI is a neglected public health priority, attention to several common challenges may improve patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to highlight common challenges in managing survivors of AKI and offer suggestions to guide management. DISCUSSION: For clinicians managing survivors of AKI, identifying and communicating patient priorities, risk factors and comorbidities including a history of AKI is important. Concurrent management challenges include education regarding lifestyle and pharmacotherapy, managing medication interruptions and dose adjustments, and re-establishing a long-term management plan for chronic diseases. |
