Association of Peak Changes in Plasma Cystatin C and Creatinine With Death After Cardiac Operations
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury is a risk factor for death in cardiac surgical patients. Plasma cystatin C and creatinine have different temporal profiles in the postoperative setting, but the associations of simultaneous changes in both filtration markers compared with change in only one marker with prognosis after hospital discharge are not well described.
