Long-Term Risk of Progressive Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Severe Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
Few studies have evaluated patients after cardiac surgery for subsequent chronic kidney disease (CKD) which increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to ascertain the long-term renal outcome in adult patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. ⋯ Patients with severe AKI after CABG are at high risk of long-term renal dysfunction and should be monitored regularly for deterioration.
