Hyperchloremia and Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Adult Cardiac Patients: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study.
Hyperchloremia is a potential risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. However, the relationship between hyperchloremia and postoperative AKI in adult patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains unclear. The authors aimed to determine whether postoperative hyperchloremia was associated with postoperative AKI in these populations. ⋯ Exposure to postoperative hyperchloremia was not associated with postoperative AKI in adult patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with CPB. However, an increase in the serum chloride level might be associated with postoperative AKI.
