The Hidden Cost of Heart Surgery?

Cardiac surgery is a huge moneymaker for hospitals, but there’s a wild twist: up to 80% of patients end up with some degree of acute kidney injury (AKI) after the procedure. This hidden complication racks up billions in extra costs and can seriously impact patient recovery. The kicker? Hospitals are about to get hit with new penalties if they don’t get AKI under control. Looks like it’s time for a major rethink on how we monitor kidneys during heart ops! #HealthCare #CardiacSurgery #HospitalCosts #PatientSafety #MedicalInnovation #Health
