Long-term renal consequences of hypertension for normal and diseased kidneys.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious problem. Understanding an individual patient's risk profile may offer opportunities for prevention or early intervention. The aim of this review is to describe novel nontraditional risk factors. RECENT FINDINGS:The risk of AKI is determined by patient factors an...
