Meta AnalysisAmino Acid Infusion for Perioperative Functional Renal Protection: A Meta-analysis.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common perioperative complication. To date, no single intervention has been proven effective for AKI prevention in this setting. However, intravenous amino acids (AA) administration may recruit renal functional reserve and, thereby, attenuate the perioperative loss of the glomerular filtration rate. ⋯ This meta-analysis suggests that AA administration likely decreased the perioperative incidence of AKI.
