In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the incidence of CI-AKI ranges from 10% to 30% during the hospitalization, and patients with AMI who suffer cardiogenic shock will exceed 50% (2-6). Among patients with AMI, compared with patients who did not had CI-AKI, those who had CI-AKI would increase fivefold short-term mortality and about sevenfold long-term mortality (7) %U http://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/28555/html
