Chronic kidney disease progression after cardiac surgery: a retrospective multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-established risk factor for adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. However, the long-term trajectory of kidney function in this high-risk group remains poorly characterised. This study's primary aim was to describe CKD progression and kidney failure in patients with kidney impairment before cardiac surgery. The secondary aim was to evaluate the impact of preexisting CKD in association with known risk factors (age, sex, and postoperative acute kidney injury) on CKD disease progression after cardiac surgery.

Methods

This retrospective observational multicentre study included adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery at the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Odense University Hospital, between 2000 and 2022,
