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..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical complication, affecting up to 30% of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients, and contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Recent studies indicate..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study investigated whether cell-free hemoglobin (CFHb) levels after CPB are associated with..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a pathological process that results from the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers, leading to the release of intracellular contents such as myoglobin, creatine kinase, potassium, and phosphate..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk of developing postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). We hypothesized that a reduction in intraoperative renal (SrO2) or cerebral (ScO2) tissue..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being utilized for life-threatening cardiac and/or respiratory failure refractory to conventional treatment. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid balance disorders commonly occur both..
Read MoreAbstract Rhabdomyolysis is a pathological process that results from the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers, leading to the release of intracellular contents such as myoglobin, creatine kinase, potassium, and phosphate..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-known serious complication of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery and one of the significant risk factors for mortality, prolonged hospital stay, and additional..
Read MoreAbstract Background and objectives Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury can lead to increased morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization. The available risk assessment tools have limited predictive ability. Machine learning has..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common and serious complication, significantly increasing postoperative morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate whether intraoperative peripheral perfusion index (PPI)..
Read MoreAbstract Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) cannot be viewed as a mere complication in critically ill patients who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Rather, it is being increasingly recognized as an..
Read MoreAbstract Background Intravenous amino acids (AA) reduce acute kidney injury (AKI) in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Because the optimal duration of AA infusion is unknown, we investigated the effect..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Monitoring indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i) is recommended during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and a predictor of acute kidney injury (AKI). The use of lean body mass-adjusted blood flow rates..
Read MoreAbstract Background This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the red cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio (RPR) for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Methods A retrospective analysis of..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after pediatric cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study evaluated renal regional oxygen saturation (R-rSO₂), measured via near-infrared spectroscopy..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Haptoglobin may reduce hemolysis-induced kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Haptoglobin may be given empirically when hemolytic urine is observed, or pre-emptively when..
