Preoperative use of furosemide may increase the incidence of acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting: a propensity score-matched study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Furosemide is usually administered before the Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to improve water-sodium retention. However, no final conclusions are available on the postoperative renal outcome of furosemide. We evaluated the effect of preoperative furosemide on acute kidney injury (AKI) after CABG.

Methods

We recorded the use of furosemide 14 days before surgery in all patients who underwent CABG from 2016 to 2017. Patients were divided into furosemide (F) group and non-furosemide (NF) group according to preoperative use of furosemide. A 1:1 propensity score matching was performed. Multivariate analyses were conducted to determine risk factors for AKI after CABG.

Results

Overall, 974 patients were included in the study, of which 82 cases were complica
