Four main topics have been identified for a rapid overview a post-surgical acute kidney injury AKI b timing of renal replacement therapy RRT different authors examined this critical issue of RRT in different settings post-surgical patients burned patients and intensive care unit patients c DoReMi Dose Response Multicentre International and other important surveys on dialysis dose and management and d pediatric AKI and RRT interest in this last topic is increasing and studies on biomarkers complications of pediatric dialysis and application of RRT to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are discussed. Post-surgical acute kidney injury Acute kidney injury AKI has been proven to increase patient mortality in all clinical settings general out-ofhospital population in-hospital admissions adult and pediatric intensive care units ICU adult and pediatric cardiac surgery and last but not least the relatively high portion formed by post-operative general surgery patients. In a study population of 1 166 patients without previous renal insufficiency Abelha and colleagues 1 elegantly showed that met AKI criteria. Interestingly AKI was diagnosed when criteria of class I or greater of the Acute Kidney Injury Network AKIN classification were present. On multivariate analysis American Society of Anesthesiologists ASA physical status Revised Cardiac Risk Index RCRI score high-risk surgery and congestive heart failure were identified as the independent preoperative risk factors for AKI during the post-operative period. The RCRI score includes the following variables Correspondence .
