[Predictive value of plasma cytokines for acute kidney injury following lung resection surgery: prospective observational study].

CONCLUSIONS: Increased postoperative plasma cytokine levels are associated with acute kidney injury after lung resection surgery in our study, which worsens the prognosis. Plasma interleukin-6 may be used as an early indicator for patients at risk of developing acute kidney injury after lung resection surgery. PMID: 31133282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
