Use of Guideline-Based Therapy for Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease, and Chronic Kidney Disease After Acute Kidney Injury: A Retrospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Survivors of acute kidney injury (AKI) are at a high risk for cardiovascular complications. An underrecognition of this risk may contribute to the low utilization of relevant guideline-based therapies in this population.
