Urine dipstick blood and acute kidney injury in infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hemolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI). The study aim was to determine if urine dipstick blood in infants after CPB was associated with AKI and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL).

Methods

Infants who underwent CPB at a single center were enrolled prospectively between October 2017 and June 2019. Urine samples prior to CPB and 6 h after CPB cessation were analyzed in batch for NGAL and dipstick blood. AKI was defined using creatinine-based KDIGO criteria within 72 h of CPB. Spearman correlation examined associations between urine dipstick blood and NGAL at each time point. Linear regression estimated the associations between urine dipstick blood and log-transformed NGAL 6 h after CPB. Logistic re
