Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during paediatric cardiac surgery. Plasma-free haemoglobin (PFH) produced by haemolysis during CPB contributes to..
Read MoreAbstract Objective We sought to explore the linear or nonlinear relationship between preoperative iron metabolism and acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Patients who..

Read MoreAbstract Background This study was to analyze the roles of red blood cell distribution width (RDW), anion gap (AG) levels and their combined effects on the risk of acute kidney..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a significant post-cardiac surgery complication, particularly prevalent among individuals with pre-existing renal dysfunction. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequently accompanied by persistent, low-grade..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a high-risk complication with well-recognized increased morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery attributable in large part to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-associated factors contributing..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives This study was designed to compare individualized and conventional hyperglycemic thresholds for the risk of (AKI) after cardiac surgery. Design This was an observational study. Setting The study took..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The objective of this systematic review was to clarify the status of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in monitoring perioperative renal regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) and determine whether there..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a well-described phenomenon, usually associated with hemodynamic changes ultimately leading to ischemic injury to the kidneys. In this study, we assessed..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Its prevalence and severity are determined by various preoperative and intraoperative factors...
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Analyze risk factors for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) in adults and establish a nomogram model for CSA-AKI based on plasma soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Prior studies have examined the association between timing of cardiac surgery after with risk of , but this remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association..
Read MoreAbstract Hemolysis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is attributed to heme-mediated proximal tubule epithelial cell (PTEC) injury and tubular cast formation due to intratubular protein condensation. Megalin is a multiligand endocytic..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Although loop diuretics (LDs) have been widely used in clinical practice, their effect on mortality when administered to patients experiencing cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) remains unknown...
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) remains a vexing issue. Clinical trials for the prevention of CS-AKI have been disappointing despite enormous initial enthusiasm based on experimental data. Summary: The..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To evaluate the impact of on transition to chronic (CKD) after cardiac surgery and to determine frequency of incident CKD in these patients. Design A and meta-analysis of observational studies. Setting..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To estimate whether the association of transfusion and acute kidney injury (AKI) has a threshold of oxygen delivery below which transfusion is beneficial but above which it is..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex and life-threatening condition with multifactorial etiologies, ranging from ischemic injury to nephrotoxic exposures. Management is founded on treating the underlying cause of..
Read MoreAbstract The usage of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiothoracic surgery contributes to the activation of the inflammatory response. In certain cases, the systemic inflammatory response may be immoderate, leading to..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) after the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) reduces the chance of organ recovery and survival. The purpose of this study was..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES The multifactorial dynamic perfusion index was recently introduced as a predictor of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. The multifactorial dynamic perfusion index was developed based on retrospective data..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury is a common complication following cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI). Serum creatinine levels require a minimum of 24–48 h to indicate renal injury. Nevertheless, early diagnosis remains critical..
Read MoreAbstract Dear Editor, Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with reported incidence rates ranging from 20 to 40% []. The development of..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Examine the: 1) relative role of hemodynamic determinants of acute kidney injury (AKI) obtained in the immediate postcardiac surgery setting compared with established risk factors, 2) their predictive..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive tool frequently used during cardiac surgery and postoperatively in the cardiac intensive care unit to monitor regional tissue oxygen saturation. A relationship..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The study objective was to investigate whether a Ringer’s acetate based priming solution with addition of Mannitol and sodium concentrate increases the risk of cardiac surgery associated kidney..
Read MoreAbstract Background Various factors can cause vascular endothelial damage during cardiovascular surgery (CVS) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which has been suggested to be associated with postoperative complications. However, few studies..
Read MoreAbstract Background The relationship between venous congestion in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery has not utterly substantiated. This study aimed at investigate the relationship..
