Overview

Effective measures for the primary prevention of acute kidney injury include volume expansion and/or fluid therapy, optimization of blood pressure,tight glycemic control, avoidance of drug- and nephrotoxin-induced AKI, recheck renal function 48-72 hours following the radiological contrast media, and low doses of corticosteroids in septic shock patients.
