Cardiosurgical operations in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) constitute a risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). ⋯ Determining sIL6 in children after cardiosurgical operations at 2 hrs after the procedure constitutes a good, yet not a perfect marker of AKI risk development. Nomograms of the constant risk values of AKI were worked out presenting the ranges of values in relation to serum IL6 concentrations and the child's body mass, age and the time of circulatory arrest.
