Intraoperative Glucose and Kidney Injury After On-Pump Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Abstract Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after on-pump cardiac surgery, and previous studies have suggested that blood glucose is associated with postoperative AKI. However, limited evidence..
