Comparison of various surrogate markers for venous congestion in predicting acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery: A cohort study

Venous congestion is associated with AKI after cardiac surgery, but not necessarily with CRRT. Among the markers tested, IRVF exhibits the strongest correlation with AKI.
