Abstract

<p>Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in surgical procedures, particularly heart and vascular surgeries, leading to increased healthcare costs, prolonged hospital stays, and adverse outcomes. Various criteria and definitions have been used to diagnose AKI, with the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria being the most widely accepted.
