Carboxyhemoglobin as Potential Biomarker for Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury.
Carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb) is a marker of hemolysis and inflammation, both risk factors for cardiac surgery-associated AKI (CSA-AKI). However, the association between CO-Hb and CSA-AKI remains unknown. ⋯ CO-Hb ≥ 1.4% at ICU admission is an independent risk factor for CSA-AKI, which is easily obtainable and available on routine arterial blood gas measurements. Thus, CO-Hb may serve as a practical and biologically logical biomarker for risk stratification and population enrichment in trials of CSA-AKI prevention.

Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft From Preoperative Serum Uric Acid.
To examine the association of an elevated level of uric acid (UA) in the bloodstream with an increased likelihood of acute kidney injury (AKI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. ⋯ There is a relationship between preoperative blood UA level and the occurrence of AKI following CABG surgery.
