Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after cardiac surgery and is a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality [1]. Hyperphosphatemia following AKI, by renal excretion defect, has never been studied in this context and could be a simple marker of AKI.
Highlights
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after cardiac surgery and is a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality [1]
The %EPh and the Ph at 48 hours (Ph48H) were significantly higher in AKI patients than in no AKI patients: 81 ± 79% and 1.47 ± 0.46 mmol/l vs 25 ± 23% and 0.99 ± 0.2 mmol/L, respectively (p < 0.001)
In AKI patients, the %EPh and Ph48H significantly increased with the severity of AKI (Table 1)
Summary
The aim of this study was to assess the predictability of serum phosphorus (Ph) for AKI monitoring after cardiac surgery
