The Impact of Acute Kidney Injury on Chronic Kidney Disease After Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

Authors' conclusion

Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery was associated with a more than 5-fold increased odds of developing CKD. New-onset CKD occurred in almost 1 in 4 patients in the years after surgery.

Study context

Population
Adult cardiac surgery patients without preoperative kidney impairment or prior transplant; kidney follow-up ≥90 days12 studies
Comparison
Postoperative AKI vs no AKI after cardiac surgery
Outcome
Incident CKD (AKI vs no AKI after cardiac surgery)
