Description: AKI in today's lab is something that can be reduced when treating CKD patients by using the right tools and techniques to approach these fragile renal patients.

Dr. Amir Kaki shares his insight on why ultra-low contrast PCI is an important avenue in treating his patients with CKD, prevention of dialysis and reduction of AKI in patients with frail kidneys or advanced CKD.
