Abstract
Cardiac valve replacement, including mitral valve replacement (MVR), is a high risk procedure with possible acute kidney injury (AKI) and sepsis complications. AKI occurs in 7.7% to 40% of patients after cardiac surgery with a poor prognosis; more than half of patients died. On the other hand, sepsis is a low prevalence situation after cardiac surgery. It only happens in less than 2.5% patients. However, the prognosis is also poor, with mortality is varying from 65 to 79%. Here we report a case of Acute Kidney Injury due to sepsis on post mitral valve replacement surgery.
