Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after cardiopulmonary bypass, but early detection of postoperative AKI remains challenging. Protein biomarkers predict AKI excellently in homogeneous cohorts but are..

Abstract Antiphospholipid syndrome is an antiphospholipid antibody-mediated prothrombotic state leading to arterial and venous thrombosis. This condition alters routine in-vitro coagulation tests, making results unreliable. Antiphospholipid syndrome patients requiring cardiac..

Abstract Objective To determine whether a continuous  of standard amino acids could preserve kidney function after on-pump cardiac surgery. Methods Adult patients scheduled to receive cardiac surgery lasting longer than 1 hour..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background There is an increasing number of young adults living with  (CHD). The goal of this study was to ascertain the frequency of  (AKI) as well as the risk factors and..

Abstract Background: Early fluid expansion could prevent postoperative organ hypoperfusion. However, excessive fluid resuscitation adversely influences multiple organ systems. This retrospective, observational study aimed to investigate the relationship between early..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Post‐operative acute kidney injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (AKI‐CPB) for cardiac surgery is a frequent complication. It may require renal replacement therapy (RRT), which is associated with an increased..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Children who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are a unique population at high risk for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload. Fluid management is important in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to identify the risk factors associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) after isolated surgical revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass and to develop a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of cardiac surgery, even when renal replacement therapy (RRT) is not required. The existing risk models for cardiac..
