Abstract Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients treated with microaxial flow pumps (mAFP). Plasma-free haemoglobin (PFHb) due to haemolysis is known to increase kidney injury in a..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiac‑surgery‑associated acute kidney injury (CSA‑AKI) is a frequent postoperative complication worldwide and is associated with increased mortality, prolonged intensive care unit stay, and substantial resource utilization. While reported..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Low haematocrit during cardiopulmonary bypass is a known risk factor for acute kidney injury, but it is unclear whether high haematocrit also increases acute kidney injury risk. We..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Among infants undergoing cardiac surgery, AKI may affect as many as 40% of this population and carries an unfavorable prognosis. A range of contributors has been implicated, including early..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Two percent to 50% of patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery experience acute kidney injury (AKI) postoperatively. Medications to prevent AKI after elective cardiac surgery have not been identified. Objective In..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgery. Albumin solution is a commonly administered fluid in cardiac surgery patients; the role of..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common and serious complication following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased costs, and higher..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a prevalent complication subsequent to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. Timely diagnosis is essential for enhancing patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic approaches that depend..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) complicates pediatric cardiac surgery, particularly in single-ventricle palliation. While retrograde lower body perfusion (LBP) has been associated with a renal-protective signal during aortic arch..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common serious complications after cardiac surgery. Although many causes and risk factors have been identified, effective measures to prevent AKI..
Read MoreAbstract Background The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has expanded for severe respiratory and circulatory failure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent complications. Up to..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is reported in 20–30% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, leading to poor outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Because the pathophysiology of CS-AKI remains..
Read MoreAbstract The oXiris membrane represents a notable advance in continuous renal replacement therapy for critically ill patients with severe infection, sepsis, and other conditions characterized by immune dysregulation. Built on..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains one of the most frequent complications after cardiac surgery and is associated with nearly 40% mortality at 5 years (). These concerning outcomes have..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a frequent and severe complication of open-heart surgery. Although oxidative/inflammatory mechanisms are known to contribute to its pathophysiology, the circulating factors involved..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a major complication that worsens patient outcomes and increases healthcare costs. This study aimed to investigate the association between..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following cardiac surgery. The RCR (ratio of RDW to total serum calcium (TSC)), which exhibits high predictive value for various..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is one of the most frequent complications after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), in which hemolysis plays an important pathophysiological role. Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) plays..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac index (CI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) are concurrent determinants of renal perfusion. Hypotension is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), but clinical trials focused solely on..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To evaluate the real-world impact of implementing routine postoperative amino acid infusion on cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Design Before-and-after study. Setting Intensive care unit (ICU). Participants..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Perioperative ultrasound assessment of renal hemodynamic parameters has emerged as a potential tool for predicting..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Although hyperthermic perfusion (arterial outlet temperature >37°C) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), the impact of body temperature at the time of separation..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Whether patients with kidney failure who undergo cardiac surgery have a survival advantage with previous kidney transplantation is unclear. This study evaluated long-term outcomes after cardiac surgery for..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent in patients supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), largely due to the severity of cardiogenic shock and multiorgan failure. Renal replacement..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid accumulation (FA) are common during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite their clinical importance, contemporary..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury is a common complication of cardiac surgery and may lead to kidney failure. In a large sample sourced from national registries, we estimated the risk..
Read MoreAbstract Aim Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Existing predictive models show limited accuracy and rarely include modifiable intraoperative risk factors. Therefore,..
Read MoreAbstract Background/Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a significant complication following cardiac surgery, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The early detection of AKI is limited by the cost, availability,..
Read MoreAbstract Background Temperature variations during (CPB) may significantly contribute to the development and progression of (AKI) after cardiac surgery. We tested the hypothesis that temperature time-series variables during CPB are associated with..
Read MoreAbstract Background/Objectives: Postoperative body temperature abnormalities are common yet underrecognized, and their association with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify early postoperative temperature..
