Original research gender differences in recovering from cardiac and vascular surgery associated acute kidney injury: A six-year retrospective comparative study in Nigeria

Conclusion: Males with AKI were younger than the females. Valvular surgeries were most common. Background kidney dysfunction and advance age were risk factors for AKI. Postoperative, AKI was commoner in males who were more likely to recover full kidney function. Optimizing patient preparation could reduce the incidence of CVS-AKI.
