<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.

Background: Subclinical or biochemically diagnosed hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined as an elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with normal free thyroxine (FT4) levels. Thyroid hormones play a major role in the normal function of the heart and vascular physiology. Atherosclerosis, increased systemic vascular resistance, and decreased arterial compliance are common pathophysiological changes that may occur in hypothyroidism. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the devastating complications after cardiac surgery. Age, diabetes mellitus (DM), preexisting renal dysfunction, hypertension, impaired left ventricular function, and severe arteriosclerosis are the major risk factors for the development of AKI. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the influence of SCH on AKI and the requirement of renal replacement therapy (RRT) after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the prospectively collected data of 336 adult patients who underwent isolated CABG surgery with normal renal function (baseline serum creatinine value <1.4 mg/dL) from January 2017 to January 2019. The patients were divided into two groups either having the diagnosis of SCH (Group I, N = 47) or not (Group II, N = 289). SCH was diagnosed based on preoperative serum TSH and FT4 levels. Kidney injury was interpreted, according to RIFLE classification. The effect of SCH on AKI and the need for RRT after CABG was determined using logistic regression analysis and the results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). A P value < .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Subclinical hypothyroidism was diagnosed in 14% of all patients. Postoperative AKI occurred in 15 patients (31.9%) in Group I, whereas there were 42 patients (14.5%) in Group II. On logistic regression analysis, the presence of SCH was shown to be associated with an increased incidence of postoperative AKI (OR, 0.363; 95% CI, 0.181-0.727; P = .004). RRT was used in 2.97% of patients (seven patients in Group I and three patients in Group II, P < .001). The 30-day mortality was 2.1%. Conclusion: The presence of SCH seems to be associated with an increased incidence of AKI and increased requirement for RRT after cardiac surgery.

Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following non-cardiac surgery with adverse short- and long- term morbidity and mortality. Evidence shows that hypoalbuminemia is associated with increased AKI risk in patients with infectious diseases and cancer and following cardiac surgery and transplant surgery. However, little evidence is available on non-cardiac surgery population. Thus, we investigated the association between preoperative hypoalbuminemia and AKI following non-cardiac surgery. Methods: We retrospectively assessed perioperative risk factors and preoperative serum albumin concentration in 729 consecutive adult patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018. Each patient was categorized according to maximal Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria based on creatinine changes and urine output within the first week after surgery. Multivariate Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between preoperative hypoalbuminemia and postoperative AKI. Results: Of 729 patients, 188 (25.8%) developed AKI. AKI incidence was higher in patients with preoperative serum albumin <37.5 g/L than in those with preoperative serum albumin ≥37.5 g/L [35.9% (98/273) vs. 19.7% (90/456), P<0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative serum albumin <37.5 g/L (odds ratio 1.892; 95% confidence interval 1.238-2.891; P=0.003) was independently associated with postoperative AKI. Patients with preoperative serum albumin <37.5 g/L tended to have a higher but not significant ratio in AKI stage 2 (2.6% vs 1.1%, P=0.144) and much higher ratio in AKI stage 3 (4.8% vs 0.7%, P<0.001) than those with preoperative serum albumin ≥37.5 g/L. AKI patients had a higher in-hospital mortality rate [6.9% (13/188) vs. 0.2% (1/541), P<0.001]. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the cumulative survival rate decreased with increasing AKI severity (P<0.001). Postoperative AKI was also associated with other worse outcomes, such as prolonged mechanical ventilation [53.4 (33.0, 73.8) vs 14.7 (11.1, 18.3) hours, P<0.001], intensive care unit stay [4.0 (3.1, 4.9) vs 2.0 (1.8, 2.3) days, P<0.001], postoperative hospital stay [17.8 (14.8, 20.9) vs 12.3 (11.3, 13.3) days, P<0.001], and higher total cost [13,453 (8,538, 20,228) vs 11,306 (6,277, 16,400) dollars, P<0.001]. Conclusions: Preoperative hypoalbuminemia was independently associated with AKI after non-cardiac surgery, and postoperative AKI was associated with poor outcomes.
