Kinetic Changes of Plasma Renin Levels Predict Acute Kidney Injury in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Elevated renin levels were associated with cardiovascular instability and increased AKI after cardiac surgery. Elevated renin levels could be used to identify high-risk patients for cardiovascular instability and AKI who would benefit from timely intervention that could improve their outcomes.
