Multicenter StudyThe impact of acute kidney injury by serum creatinine or urine output criteria on major adverse kidney events in cardiac surgery patients.
Oliguria after cardiac surgery remains of uncertain clinical significance. Therefore, we investigated the relationship of acute kidney injury severity across urine output and creatinine domains with the risk for major adverse kidney events at 180 days. We aimed to determine the impact of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Acute kidney injury is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and even milder forms of acute kidney injury, including isolated stage 1 oliguria, are associated with adverse long-term consequences.
