Blood transfusion and acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery: a retrospective observational study
Abstract Purpose Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is linked to poor outcomes. An observational study from Copenhagen, Denmark identified perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion as a modifiable risk..
