One of the most common complications of cardiac surgery is cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI), which affects approximately 20 - 30% of patients.(1) Even mild increases in serum creatinine are independently associated with worsened outcomes such as prolonged mechanical ventilation, longer intensive care and hospital stays, higher healthcare costs, and increased short-term mortality.(2,3)
