Multicenter Study Observational StudyAssociations Between Preoperative Biomarkers and Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in Elderly Patients: A Cohort Study.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with mortality after cardiac surgery. Novel risk factors may improve identification of patients at risk for renal injury. The authors evaluated the association between preoperative biomarkers that reflect cardiac, inflammatory, renal, and metabolic disorders and cardiac surgery-associated AKI (CSA-AKI) in elderly patients. ⋯ Preoperative cardiac, inflammatory, renal, and metabolic biomarkers are associated with CSA-AKI and may improve identification of patients at risk.
