Correlation of Possible Kidney Injury in the Immediate Postoperative Period of Patients Having Undergone a Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgeries nowadays are performing in a routine basis and most of the time with a great percentage of success. However, there are cases in operations that may appear postoperative complications such as renal dysfunction, which can endanger patient's life. Preexisting isolated systolic hypertension and wide pulse pressure increase the risk of postoperative renal dysfunction in the cardiac surgery population. New data suggest that BP lability (i.e., BP excursions outside an acceptable physiologic range) during cardiac surgery may also be an important predictor of subsequent renal dysfunction. Alongside, various clinic parameters for example, the time spent in the unit, other postoperative complications etc. related to kidney injury have negative effects for the progress of patients' suffering in the unit. The purpose of this study is the correlation between the appearance of kidney injury in patients undergoing a cardiac surgery the immediate postoperative period and other preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative parameters.
