Abstract
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common postoperative complication, despite advances in surgical techniques and intensive care, mortality and morbidity associated with acute renal failure have not markedly changed in the last decade. Depending on the definition used, the incidence of CSA-AKI is reported to range from 1 to 30%. CSA-AKI requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) occurs in 1.2-3.0% of cardiac surgery cohorts and is independently associated with mortality.
Highlights
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSAAKI) is a common postoperative complication, despite advances in surgical techniques and intensive care, mortality and morbidity associated with acute renal failure have not markedly changed in the last decade
We studied Timing effect (Early vs Late continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) initiation respect to ICU admission) using non-CRRT as control group
Severity of AKI was defined by AKIN score (urine output (UO) and serum creatinine)
Summary
We studied mortality differences between CRRT and nonCRRT patients. We studied Timing effect (Early vs Late CRRT initiation respect to ICU admission) using non-CRRT as control group.
