A retrospective comparison of preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate as a predictor of postoperative cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury.

Conclusion: In patients with preoperative eGFR >40 cc/min/1.73 m2 BSA, a lower preoperative eGFR (40-60 cc/min/1.73 m2) does not predict higher incidence of CSA-AKI as defined by AKIN criteria as compared to higher preoperative eGFR (>100 cc/min/1.73 m2). Lower height is independently associated with higher incidence of CSA-AKI in such patients. PMID: 31929248 [PubMed - in process]
