Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with serious complications such as lethal arrhythmia, lung edema, and electrolyte disorder. For the management of AKI, it is imperative to identify and remove the cause of AKI. Also, it is essential to create a non-damaging environment for kidneys such as non-nephrotoxic drugs, appropriate intravascular volume, and drug dose adjustment. So far, many randomized controlled trials have examined the AKI prevention or treatment effect of various interventions, e.g., dopamine, diuretics, and natriuretic peptide. While most of those interventions did not have a decisive impact on clinical practices, some of them can be beneficial in a limited situation. Further research is expected in this field.
