Mp217diabetes Mellitus Does Not Increase the Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease; A Nested Case-Control Study

Abstract

Introduction and Aims: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common complication associated with increased mortality. However, the heterogeneity of the definitions used for AKI resulted in high variance of incidence rates in relevant literature. Data on the effect of diabetes mellitus on AKI incidence in this setting are scarce and contradictory. The aim of this study is to evaluate in comparison incidence of AKI defined by the AKIN, RIFLE and KDIGO criteria in matched diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
