Table 2 Management pre- and post- AngioJet® for optimization of patient care

Patients should be counselled and consented regarding the potential risk of AKI and need for RRT

Consider use of alternative therapy in patients who have undergone major surgery within the last 3 months

Renal function should be checked immediately post-procedure

Fluid resuscitation with intravenous sodium bicarbonate, should be initiated immediately in those with renal impairment

An accurate fluid balance chart should be maintained

Timely referral to nephrology services will allow for appropriate commencement of renal replacement therapy and avoidance of ICU admission

Performing a renal biopsy is high risk and does not alter management in those with renal impairment
