We aimed to evaluate whether the duration and stage of acute kidney injury (AKI) are associated with the occurrence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic aortic surgery. A total of 2009 cases were reviewed. The patients with postoperative AKI stage 1 and higher stage were divided into transient (serum creatinine elevation ≤48 h) or persistent (>48 h) AKI, respectively. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values during three years after surgery were collected. Occurrence of new-onset CKD stage 3 or higher or all-cause mortality was determined as the primary outcome. Multivariable Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis were performed. The Median follow-up of renal function after surgery was 32 months. The cumulative incidences of our primary outcome at one, two, and three years after surgery were 19.8, 23.7, and 26.1%. There was a graded significant association of AKI with new-onset CKD during three years after surgery, except for transient stage 1 AKI (persistent stage 1: HR 3.11, 95% CI 2.62–4.91; transient higher stage: HR 4.07, 95% CI 2.98–6.11; persistent higher stage: HR 13.36, 95% CI 8.22–18.72). There was a significant difference in survival between transient and persistent AKI at the same stage. During three years after cardiac surgery, there was a significant and graded association between AKI stages and the development of new-onset CKD, except for transient stage 1 AKI. This association was stronger when AKI lasted more than 48 h at the same stage. Both duration and severity of AKI provide prognostic value to predict the development of CKD.

AbstractBackground:Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury is common. In order to improve our understanding of acute kidney injury, we formed the multi-centre Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network. Our main goals are to describe neonatal kidney injury epidemiology, evaluate variability in diagnosis and management, identify risk factors, investigate the impact of fluid overload, and explore associations with outcomes.Methods:The Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network collaborative includes representatives from paediatric cardiac critical care, cardiology, nephrology, and cardiac surgery. The collaborative sites and infrastructure are part of the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium. An acute kidney injury module was developed and merged into the existing infrastructure. A total of twenty-two participating centres provided data on 100–150 consecutive neonates who underwent cardiac surgery within the first 30 post-natal days. Additional acute kidney injury variables were abstracted by chart review and merged with the corresponding record in the quality improvement database. Exclusion criteria included >1 operation in the 7-day study period, pre-operative renal replacement therapy, pre-operative serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dl, and need for extracorporeal support in the operating room or within 24 hours after the index operation.Results:A total of 2240 neonatal patients were enrolled across 22 centres. The incidence of acute kidney injury was 54% (stage 1 = 31%, stage 2 = 13%, and stage 3 = 9%).Conclusions:Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network represents the largest multi-centre study of neonatal kidney injury. This new network will enhance our understanding of kidney injury and its complications.

Abstract Background and Aims Assessment of factors associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in acute renal dysfunction in patients in the early postoperative period after cardiac surgery. Method Monocentric observational study in patients (n = 97) who underwent elective open-heart cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting -50.44%, aortic valve prosthetics - 31.04%, mitral valve prosthetics - 12.61%) using cardiopulmonary bypass. Inclusion criteria: the study included patients not younger than 18 years old, undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB lasting up to 95 minutes (coronary bypass surgery, valve replacement), without signs of end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). Using nonparametric correlation analysis, we evaluated the effect on the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) of the following extracorporeal circulation factors: duration of CPB, aortic cross-clamp, mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), perfusion flow rate (PFR), transport, consumption and oxygen extraction variables. The diagnosis of AKI was made on the basis of the KDIGO classification, the studied parameters were recorded initially (before the operation), 15 minutes after the start of general anesthesia, 30 minutes after the start of cardiopulmonary bypass and 15 minutes after the end of general anesthesia. Results The frequency of AKI in 24 hours after surgery was 56.3% (58 cases): including stage 1 in 37 (35.9%), stage 2 in 17 (16.5%), stage 3 - in 4 (3.9%) patients. In the 48th hour of the postoperative period signs of AKI regressed, and were presented in only 26 people (25.2%), including the stage 1 in 18 (17.5%), the stage 2 - in 5 (4.8%), stage 3 - in 3 (2.9%). Among the risk factors for AKI in cardiac surgery with CPB, the main effect of of the anemia was revealed, especially a decrease in hemoglobin levels of less than 90 g / l and hematocrit of less than 25%. Conclusion Hemodilution below the "threshold" values of hemoglobin and hematocrit during the CPB provoke acute kidney injury in patients undergoing open-heart surgery.

Background Diuretics are used to manage congestive heart failure in infants with congenital heart disease. Adult data indicate that preoperative diuretic use increases the risk of cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CS‐AKI). We have sought to understand if preoperative diuretics in infants increases the risk of CS‐AKI. Methods and Results This is a single‐center retrospective study of infants (1–12 months) who had CS requiring cardiopulmonary bypass between 2013 and 2018. The diagnosis and severity of CS‐AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. Three hundred patients were included (mean 6 months, SD 2.4, range 1.2–12.9 months). A total of 149 (49.7%) patients were diagnosed with CS‐AKI (stage 1: 80 [54%], stage 2: 57 [38%], stage 3: 12 [8%]). Logistic regression analysis showed preoperative diuretics were not associated with CS‐AKI (odds ratio [OR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.43–1.44; P =0.45). A diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot was an independent risk factor for CS‐AKI (OR, 3.49; 95% CI, 1.33–9.1, P =0.01). A diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot (OR, 3.6; 95% CI, 1.28–10.22; P =0.02) and longer cardiopulmonary bypass (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.0–1.02; P =0.04) time are risk factors for moderate to severe CS‐AKI. Conclusions Preoperative diuretic use does not contribute to the risk of CS‐AKI in infants early after surgery. A diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot was the only risk factor for CS‐AKI identified using multivariate analysis in our cohort. Furthermore, a diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time are risk factors for moderate to severe CS‐AKI.

<strong>Background:</strong> Acute kidney injury is a common complication of cardiac surgery that increases morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study is to analyze the association of preoperative serum albumin levels with acute kidney injury and the requirement of renal replacement therapy after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> We retrospectively reviewed the prospectively collected data of 530 adult patients who underwent isolated CABG surgery with normal renal function. The perioperative clinical data of the patients included demographic data, laboratory data, length of stay, in-hospital complications and mortality. The patient population was divided into two groups: group I patients with preoperative serum albumin levels &lt;3.5 mg/dL; and group II pateints with preoperative serum albumin levels ≥3.5 mg/dL.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> There were 413 patients in group I and 117 patients in group II. Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) occured in 33 patients (28.2%) in group I and in 79 patients (19.1%) in group II. Renal replacement therapy was required in 17 patients (3.2%) (8 patients from group I; 9 patients from group II; P = .018). 30-day mortality occurred in 18 patients (3.4%) (10 patients from group I; 8 patients from group II; P = .037). Fourteen of these patients required renal replacement therapy. Logistic regression analysis revealing the presence of lower serum albumin levels preoperatively was shown to be associated with increased incidence of postoperative AKI (OR: 1.661; 95% CI: 1.037-2.661; <br />P = .035). Logistic regression analysis also revealed that DM (OR: 3.325; 95% CI: 2.162-5.114; P = .000) was another independent risk factor for AKI after isolated CABG. <br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Low preoperative serum albumin levels result in severe acute kidney injury and increase the rate of renal replacement therapy and mortality after isolated CABG.
