Preoperative proteinuria predicts acute kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to examine the utility of using proteinuria in preoperative risk stratification for acute kidney injury. Acute kidney injury is a common and important complication for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Proteinuria, which reflects structural damage to the glomeruli or renal tubules, may aid the prediction of acute kidney injury.
METHODS: The urine albumin to creatinine ratio and dipstick proteinuria …
