- Title
A new perspective on amino acid infusion: from perioperative parenteral nutrition to renal protection.

- Abstract
A letter published in the journal JA Clinical Reports discusses the use of amino acid infusions to prevent acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery. The authors commend a previous study for demonstrating the therapeutic potential of amino acid infusion in preventing AKI and expanding its clinical applications beyond traditional parenteral nutrition. They also highlight the historical context of amino acid infusions and their effects on patient outcomes, such as increased body temperature, reduced shivering, shorter intubation times, and shorter hospital stays. The authors emphasize the potential renal protective effects of amino acids and recommend further research, including multicentric trials with diverse patient populations, to confirm these findings and determine optimal protocols for amino acid infusion in the perioperative setting.
