Abstract

We read with great interest the article by Kramer and colleagues [1]. They showed that the incidence of acute kidney injury decreased significantly from 50.2% to 33.7% if the cardiac surgery was undertaken in a subsequent hospitalization after the cardiac catheterization. Therefore, they advocated for separate admissions in nonemergent cases, thus allowing resolution of some of risk factors of postoperative acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery and ultimately reducing overall morbidity and mortality in this patient population.
