Abstract
Aim To determine predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) related with surgeries for correction of acquired valvular heart disease (HD) and to evaluate the incidence of in-hospital complications in patients with postoperative AKI.Material and methods This study included 62 patients after surgery for correction of acquired valvular HD (mean age, 61±10.9 years) with a disease duration of 11±5.3 years. NYHA functional class (FC) 1 chronic heart failure (CHF) was observed in 1.6 % of patients, FC 2 in 64.5 %, and FC 3 in 33.9 %.17.7% of patients had chronic kidney disease (CKD). Coronary lesions of ≥50 % of vascular lumen were detected in 27.4 % of patients. Surgical correction of mitral valvular disease was performed in 32 cases, aortic valvular disease in 36 cases, tricuspid valvular disease in 8 cases, and combined operations for correction of valvular disease and coronary bypass in 8 cases. Creatinine concentrations were measured according to the Jaffe method; glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated with the CKD-EPI equation. AKI was diagnosed based on KDIGO (2012) criteria.Results The AKI incidence related with surgeries for correction of valvular HD was 16.1 % (8.1 % of patients had stage 1 AKI, 3.2 % had stage 2 AKI, and 4.8 % had stage 3 AKI), and 3.2% required kidney replacement therapy. AKI was associated with the presence of CKD at baseline (р=0.044), development of hemopericardium requiring drainage (р=0.012), more pronounced coronary lesions (in the AKI group: stenoses from 50 to 70 % in 20% of patients, from 70 to 90 % in 30 % of patients, and ≥90 % in 0 %; without AKI: from 50 to 70 % in 13.4 % of patients, from 70 to 90 % in 3.8 %, and ≥90 % in 5.8 % of patients, respectively; р=0.032). Probability of postoperative AKI significantly increased with the development of hemopericardium requiring drainage. Patients with postoperative AKI compared to persons without AKI had higher mortality (20 % and 0 %; р=0.001), greater incidence of decompensated CHF (40 and 9.6 %; р=0.012) and hemopericardium requiring drainage (30 and 1.9 %; р=0.012).Conclusion The development of postoperative AKI is associated with CKD at baseline, more pronounced coronary injury, and hemopericardium requiring drainage.
